Why did I bring shower gel? There is no shower...

---

Instead of a shower, we have a hole and a bucket. Unfortunately, we didn't know this morning where to find water to fill it!
Ok, no shower is not surprising, we are in Africa. But I am however shocked, I feel lost. Everything here is different from France of course but from any other country I visited, even the poorest ones like some places in China or Philippines. I can't already explain what is so different, I am quite confused, but it is!
I met yersteday night when arriving the 2 other french girls doing the same mission as me, Elisabeth and Laurène (with whom we shared the same idea : we are happy to be finally arrived in Lomé... but what are we doing here!!!) , an other french guy here for 2 months, Mathias, the local members of the association Placide, Momo, Arnaud...
And today's plan was:
- to go in the ambassade to signalize our presence but it was closed
- to go to the bank but it was too early (no probleme, let's wait)
- to go to Leader Price to buy some biscuits but it was too early (no probleme, let's wait)

Here "good evening" is said after midday and lezards are enormous.

And good news, we found the water for the shower, tomorrow we will smell better!
