If its yellow

Let it settle, if its brown, flush it down. Rule of thumb here. Bathrooms are really frustrating here. And I found out pretty quickly that theyre all different. Some dont have toilet seats, most have no toilet paper. Flushing here sucks, you have to know just how to do it for each toilet. [Certain amount of seconds to hold down the handle, how much tp to use, it gets pretty frustrating.]
Then theres the showers. Ive only seen one bathtub my whole time here, because all of the water (minus drinking water) comes out of this big black tank on the roof of your house. You have to take your shower really fast too, or else youll drain the tank. (Done it a few times) Then when that happens, you take a bucket, dip water out of the giant clay tub in the yard used for washing dishes or clothes, and dump water over yourself. But at least the water is clean and warm.
The drinking water here comes out of one of those five gallon plastic jugs in waiting rooms. But it sets on the floor in this metal balancer thing. when you want a glass of water, you have to stoop down, and carefully tip the jug and fill your glass. Theres almost always a puddle on the floor.
So thats how water works here. Lol
