I managed to convey that I was washing my clothes. She said the laundry would get done tomorrow. At this point, I called Beth in as translator to ask if it was okay if my undergarments were in with the laundry. Mama Aida then took my pile of things and went through each one. She obviously laughed at my underwear, but said it was fine. After she left, Beth informed me I was washing my clothes in a bidet. I only sort of know what this is, but apparently it is for washing something quite other than clothes....
Pretty sure this is a classic mistake ;) but for your amusement, Beth and I decided to recreate the moment.
Goodnight America!
Too funny Bec...hope you have an amazing trip! _Sammie & Wesley
ReplyDeletethat is so funny, even funnier, somehow grandma and grandpa were looking at the puppies, then they must have hit this link and they were like it looks like becca and a toilet, in an orange dress...i hadn't seen this post yet so i was like WHAT???.....
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely classic travel goof! No worries... I had some problems like that when I spent time in the Soviet Union (before it went back to being Russia). I can't help to also note that you blogged about the "modernization" and "pointing west to America". It doesn't matter, there are certain things that will just never seem to catch up to the west!! :) Great dress. I want one!
