Today we went with one of the ladies who is helping us learning the language to her neighborhood and we saw, smelled and heard new and unfamiliar things.
So that you can imagine what it was like, here some visual aids :-)
kids taking a bath (and most likely also skipping school as somebody told us :-))
same water, a woman doing her laundry.
We were told that some people, even though they might have a laundry sink or washing machine at home still prefer to wash their clothes in this public water because the like to hang out there with all the other people.
(I actually understand, this ladies soap smelled nice and it seemed very tempting to stand up to your knees in water while chatting to your friends)
meat market - that was a test for my stomach, but the lady on the right did not seem to mind,
she took a nap right next to her chopping block... hey, I am not judging!
getting a haircut, who needs a closed room for that? totally overrated!
typical neighborhood corner store
little artificial creek running through this neighborhood
if you look closely, can you see what is "wrong" with this ladder?
