I have tried to introduce some of the team from MSF here in Sri Lanka. I should also tell you a little about our living arrangements. Everyone has their own little room. I think that I described mine earlier. We do have a nice shower out in the back by my room. It is dark and made of cement. There are a multitude of little creatures who share the shower with you. Yesterday it was a tree frog. So far, no snakes. One of the things that strikes you after the initial shock, is the fact that there is only one knob on the shower. It is the 'on' knob. There is no hot water, just cold. What is interesting is that you really don't miss the hot water. Usually you are in the shower to try to cool off.
The other shower in the main house is conveniently located next to the toilet and the sink. You can, in reality, shit, shower, and shave all at once. Some refer to it as S cubed. The rest refer to this shower as one stop shopping. Similar arrangements are noted in Point Pedro, although they did install some sort of heater for some of their water. I never really tried that one. It just didn't seem right.
