This is a quick image of the inside of our house, on the bottom floor. This pot is the house's water supply. We use the water here for everything: cooking, cleaning, washing clothes, taking showers, some of the people who live in the house (remember there's about 15 of us) use this also as drinking water because they don't have water filters. Recently the water has changed from a sort of pale yellow colour when I first arrived to a darker brown colour. You definitley can't see through it now. To the right of the pot is the area where we shower (you can barely see the white buckets on the ground, we fill those us and then scoop water over our heads). Just behind the shower area is the toilet. To the left of the pot is my host mother Ming Huong's room. She keeps all the more expensive stuff in the house in her room since it's the only room we can really lock effectively.
