Here is Melissa and I's room. The guest house we're at is like a home for our program because we occupy all of the rooms. There are 22 of us now (the A&M Kingsville students arrived last night) and at least 6 employees to help us. Apparently they run errands, do laundry, bring us midnight snacks and keep every surface sparkling clean.
There are several funny things including a travel poster for Kashmir
... and a bucket in the shower. A resource-poor country, the Indian way to shower is to fill up a bucket. I feel no compulsion complete the Indian cultural experience by using this method.
There are also 2 clocks in the room, both reading different times. I'm never quite sure what time it is because my radio-wave alarm clock is wrong by several hours and 15 minutes, my computer clock is inexplicably late by 28 minutes, and my phone is off by 10 minutes. This probably explains why "Indian time" has a 20 - 30 minute window of flexibility.

So tehre is still a shower head in the shower, but the buckets are fo ppl who are not comfortable using the shower head??
I think the shower head is western.
Most people here would just use the faucet to fill up the bucket.
