0/3

Today i managed to go 0/3 on taking a shower in the morning. Go buck bath go.

The water in Namibia is dependable minus Katima. Here the town council has inserted itself as a middle man between NAMwater and use the consumer. This allows them to A.) make a profit and B.) have the only region that doesn't have good and dependable water. We are also the only region that has to worry about flooding for long periods of time (everywhere else is desert an was better water access then us on a major river).

Oh and i love that other then make us pay way more for water, we had our water shut off for about a month and a half. They said that we didn't pay the water bill, so we hurried up and got the payment in for the office after a week. Takes them 6 weeks to reconnect our water and then the day after a person comes from the water company saying we didn't pay our water bill and they were going to shut it off on a date that was 4 days earlier unless we pay. Gotta love Africa.
