Our host mom was the sweetest woman. Her husband was the local massage expert, and she had an older daughter with two small children. Our mother took us upstairs where there was a room set up with a mat on the floor, two glasses with two bottles of water, and a fan. She told us to take showers before dinner. The bathroom was outside, divided into two rooms. One had a toilet (which you squat over) and a container of water to flush with. The other had a bigger container of water for bathing. You pour water over yourself with a bowl. It took a little getting used to.
