Picture Description

So the first picture is Paul and Scott at the table at the Johnson - where we girls now stay. This is where we eat some. When we are on top of things in advance to sign up for dinner the night before - they will bring us dinner here. There is also a TV in this room - with HBO and about 10 other English channels - a very nice thing we found about 5 days into the stay.
Picture 2 and 3 from the top are pictures of the room and bathroom that we were staying in to begin with. This is the New Housing Complex - although not so new. On the left wall in the bathroom is the water heater -- which was very nice.
Pictures below that are the room and bathroom at the Johnson House - we are loving staying here. Again, the shower is not really seperated from the bathroom so we end up getting the whole floor wet when we take a shower. There is a drain in that corner of the room next to the shower head. Now if you may notice all the the big plastic bins. Well the people here don't use toilet paper. Next to all the toilets are water facets and bins. The people will turn the water on and use the left hand to pour water on themselves. No, I have not tried this method. So the left hand is considered unclean in India for this reason and is not used to eat with -- makes sense = ). The shower water is warm, although there is very little water pressure - so it makes it hard to get shampoo out of the hair and such. There is also a plastic bucket here, for Indian people also will fill the bucket with water and wash themselves off this way -- I have done this.
Our room actually has air conditioning although we have not needed it at all and have not even turned it on. Actually in the mornings Rebecca and I are quite cold. The temperatures right now are probaly in the 70's with some days getting up to 80. I am very glad I am here with all the beautiful greenery and without sweating through the day.
