#1 Wall lizards. We call them cecak (CHEE-chuck). They are everywhere. We have one in just about every room of our house. They eat mosquitos, so they are allowed to stay.
#2 "Squatty Potties"
#3 Fresh flowers delivered to our house almost every week. This arrangement cost me about $1.50 .
#4 A shoe rack just inside the front door. We take our shoes off before entering homes to keep the floors clean.
#5 Want to guess what the "shower head" beside the toilet is? Don't worry, we haven't "crossed over." We still use that handy roll sitting on the back of the toilet!
#6 These cool looking long pillows are standard in many bedrooms here.
#7 Drains on the floor of the bathrooms. Handy for cleaning with lots of water and also for draining when the shower pan overflows!
#8 Rice cooker is a standard kitchen appliance here. Rice is the standard food!
#9 Gas tank for the stove. I am not very comfortable with this. I don't like all the newspaper articles about them exploding, but we all gotta eat, right?

#10 And finally, sink in the middle of the living area (see it on the right)? I guess you just never know when you might need to run and wash your hands.
I love this list! Brings back lots of memories!
ReplyDelete1. Have the boys "experimented" with the cecaks regrowing tails? (gross! sorry I brought it up!)
2. Is that squatty potty in your house?
3. LOOOVE the flowers!
4. Clean floors are always nice.
5. No comment.
6. I have one of those!
7. Drains are handy - wish I had one.
8. Gotta have that rice!
9. Ooo, that would make me nervous too! I remember the one we had in Gombong.
10. Hmm, not very aesthetic, but sure would be handy!
I love the sink!! Knowing you, you have made it look warm, cozy and like it belongs :-)! I feel your pain about the gas can. Do you have an extinguisher nearby, just in case?
