A different life in Honduras

So what are some of the differences between living in the States vs. living here? Lets start with water. In the stated you are blessed with running water most of the time. The water is drinkable; we clean our food with it, shower with it, brush our teeth with it, flush, etc. All this stuff we take for granted. In Honduras, only the major cities have running water. The rest of the country is blessed with receiving water once every few days. Thus water needs to be stored in concrete basins outside the house, called pillas. Water is taken from here to wash clothes, to prepare food, take bucket baths, etc. Going to the bathroom? After doing your duty you have to get a bucket and wash it down the drain. Do it fast enough to create the pressure to flush the toilet, but not so fast that it splashes you. Too slow and it wont even flush. Good times. The water is not potable - drinkable. You have to boil it or chlorinate it to drink or prepare food with. And you have to use drinking water to wash your teeth. So good times. My host family is doing well enough to have running water, but not like the states. Their tank is above ground, so there is water pressure created to have a shower, flush the toilet like normal, and use the sink. But when water went out for a few days, we had to use the pilla water. And there is no such thing as hot water here - there is only water on.
Families that can afford it will buy an electroducha. This is a device that plugs into an outlet - there are outlets in the showers for this.... safe, i know - and it will heat up the shower water as it flows out. So your options are cold, somewhat warm, or really hot. But this is considered lucky - some of the people have to take bucket baths. One guy was saying that he was actually having panic attacks when taking bucket baths because it was cold water baths. Im moving to a new host family this coming Sunday, and I read that I have an outdoor bathroom and no shower. Im guessing that this will be me soon as well..... Ill keep you posted.
