Living in an emerging economy, or what used to be called the “third world” I’ve had to get used to some aspects of daily living that could be more easily avoided or dealt with in the West. This will be an ongoing installation.
Lets start with cold showers.
I take a cold shower every day. Some days I can take it, some days I can’t. Even though it’s a hot country, water running through the pipes can be cold in the mornings and at night. When I put my head into that water and let it hit my shoulders, I always think we should install a heater. But what I have gotten used to is the routine of bracing for the cold.
