I have a shower in my very big bathroom. When I first got here, I was very conscious about conserving water and would take a short shower once a day or maybe every other day.
As it turns out, I am expected to take a minimum of THREE showers a day. My host mom keeps telling me that not taking a shower will make me tired (although I don’t really understand why). But the people here are by and large very keen on cleanliness, and showers are a definite must.
Interestingly, however, there have been some significant water issues lately. Tanga is a coastal city, and according to my host father has not had water shortages in years. However, since I’ve been here, the water stops working at least once a day for a good couple of hours. This is so unusual that my host father doesn’t have an extra water tank installed at his Tanga home…..but he is now beginning to reconsider.
