I actually used to take a two bucket bath when I was a kid for like a year. there is definitely a technique to maximize the water usage. but then again, I had a small body at the time, and the water wasn't cold :) and yes, you are a mashed potato in my book. oh how funny!

It`s very interesting. I hope you`ll enjoy more intereting things about Sierra Leone while you are here. I`m pretty sure by now you can do the two bucket bath thing perfectly, as you are a quick learner. Oh Nick I`m pleased to hear about your experience. It`s very interesting.

I don't usually read blogs, but I love yours Nick! The bucket bath, an Africa-wide phenomenon. From Ghana to Uganda to Tanzania, I've enjoyed small variations for over a year (now I've upgraded and have jug as my second bucket, cop that!). Dar es Salaam does have a couple of cold seasons, and trying to wash long hair with freezing cold water was becoming excruciating. So I decided to invest in a $15 kettle. It is the best thing I have EVER bought! If you are going to be in SL for a while, I recommend you getting one too. I think it gets a little cooler in SL around June (depending on where you are). I'm also enjoying "mzungi, mzungu", the East African version of Oportho. Please keep the blogs coming, they are so vivid! Best wishes, Joannah (your fellow Fellow) Yes, yes, yes!

Seeing how I'm too much of a wimp to do a fellowship post in Sierra Leone, I live vicariously through you from Cambodia. Can't wait to read your next one. Take care out there! Omeed Nick,

I’m loving your blogs. Seeing how I’m too much of a wimp to do a fellowship post in Sierra Leone, I live vicariously through you from Cambodia.

Glad to see you're having an authentic experience. That's the kind of Africa that I miss. Ciao, Sharon Nick-
