Sipaway Island Experience

I am not new to no water & no electricity.  If I were to live in an island I will survive. (char!)

When I arrived in Sipaway, our helper (Manang Tata) kept on reminding me that they didn't have electricity during the day. Power would be on by night, but unfortunately when I got there, there was no electricity because their machine was broken. How unfortunate I was! It didn't scare me though.

Even though there were no water and electricity it didn't spoil my vacation there.  My experience helped me appreciate electricity and water.

every drop counts!

Since there was no water, I need to get water from the well. It was such an enjoyable experience. 

Home-made Pork & Beans.

I forgot the name of this food. But it tastes delicious.
