India's Genius: The Shower

Okay so generally speaking I hate blogs. I never read them, I never write them. BUT I'm going to give it a shot. I will not be offended if you don't read it. It's guaranteed not to be entirely that interesting.

So the real stuff - Flight was good, reached here safely. Got picked up by the guest house care taker. Came to the guest house, fell asleep. Now awake. About to go look at some other guest houses, trying to figure out how to recharge our cellular. It's hot. Oh and I blew the fuse with my hairdryer. whoops

Now the cool stuff - My first post is dedicated to the showers of the motherland. Now if you have known me for long (aka Didi) I always have something to say about the showers in India. For some reason their shower heads never seems to spray in one direction. It literally goes everywhere creating the dilemma of where to stand. So I go to shower this morning and am I little confused as to how this particular one operates. First there is a bucket style faucet at the bottom. As you make your way up there are 6 sprayers at the mid-level (sprays at your butt and back). Then there is a hand sprayer (spraying all over the place as expected). And then there is a regular shower head (which sadly didn't work). So you might think this is completely inefficient and just weird. I too thought that. But then I showered and realized this is genius. I mean in America, what is ever spraying at your butt and back? Nothing! Indians are so smart.

Okay that's it :) Insightful I know. I've only been here for like 12 hours, what do you expect man? jokes. Peace
