taking showers in India

shanthi · Oct 29th, 2005, 23:39

Unless it's daylight and there's a window in the shower-room, always make a mental note of where everything you need to get your hands on is, inside the cubicle

! Especially at night, when the electricity fails (again) and you've no idea where your stuff is

- only that's it around you somewhere! I am never found in the shower without a little candle in a drinking glass (or whatever) and a lighter inside the glass (upside down)so I can find it and light the candle easy! Actually, it's quite nice showering by candle-light - you can't see the beached-whale-type-of-effect that is only too plainly visable in flourescent lighting!!!

Good to know.
I've only tried the dishwashingmachine, and everything was ok with that.

Are there usually noticeable particles of dirt/stuff floating around in a glass cup of water?

I never noticed anything like this.

Wazen. I've never NOT seen slightly off clear, tainted water from a tap in India yet!
