Room Tour

Since I'm sitting around recovering today and on a strike from work until running water returns, I'll do a room tour.

This is my door. Notice the neat half window glass on the top. I'm not exactly sure what this does. I guess it provides a convenient window for bugs. A kind of indonesian pet door except for mosquitos. Its not like the glass behind the curtains closes either. Those are a kind of tilting panes that keep water out?

This is my bed. The actual bed is clean enough although the headboard has a big grease stain on the right side. This bed is the thing I'm most pleased about in my room.

This is the rest of my room. Here there are many things to look at. Under the curtains is the sink that drains into the cabinet below. On the left of side of the picture is the dresser that is so dirty I won't go near it. (bros agree its bad) There a reason its shoved into the panhandle of the room. (yes, my room is shaped like Oklahoma.) I have my clothes on the shelf beside the sink. The desk is ok but the lizards really like hanging around on it and trying to eat my bananas. These little 6 inch geckos run around all the time on the walls trying to annoy me. They also love bananas.

This is the view out of my back window. As usual, any unused space is quickly turned into "storage space".

This is the damn bathroom lightbulb.

Another interesting picture. The drain is that hole in the floor in front of the toilet. Bathroom window also doesn't close. Lest you think I dirtied this bathroom, it was dirtier when I found it. A good hose at all surfaces from the shower head helped.

One might think this is a sink. One would be wrong. The faucet works, but there is no drain. I guess that is what the heart shaped scooper is for. Scooping out your sink? I seriously have no idea what this rig is good for. Ah yes. TP. Supposedly the plumbing here is not set up for TP to be flushed down the toilet. The girls found that out the hard way. So far I've been ok, but it kind of begs the question what you are supposed to do with TP if it can't go in the toilet.

If there is one thing I can say about indonesia, there is no shortage of buckets. Every single bathroom has one of these with a scooper inside. What do you do with it? Wash your hands? Fill it up so you can wash even when there is no water? Beats me.

I should mention that there is something to be said for this floor drain. At first I was miffed at not having a sink to brush my teeth with or anything of that sort, but here I can just spew it wherever I feel like and use the mobile shower head to blast it down the drain. Not bad. Although its never fun to make a mess then find out your water isn't working.

And on another note.

Still raining.
