I’m embarrassed to say that I’m extremely critical of our home for the month of June. This place – especially when compared to the amazing villa that is Pantulan where we spent the first six weeks here – has more than it’s share of eccentricities that make it feel like living in a foreign countries. For example, we have five showers (and I believe 8 freakin’ toilets!) but not a single shower works as you’d like it to. Every day I have to decide whether I want to take a warm shower with ultra high water pressure but do it in a bathtub and hold the “detachable” (read: not secured) nozzle while trying (completely and absolutely in vain) not to drench the whole bathroom (epic fail, every time) or do I want to take an icy cold shower outside on the third floor balcony (definitely my preference of location) and have the water come intermittently (don’t even bother with the hot water heater). One other shower doesn’t give more than a slow trickle of water and I haven’t bothered with the other two because they seem so similar to the first one mentioned.
But that aside, the house is incredibly gorgeous and I love taking photos of it.
