Like many majority countries (and by majority I mean not where power IS held but rather where the majority of the people in the world live and where equivalent power SHOULD be held) much of what we would consider private life is conducted in public.

In some cases there are cultural roots for why public over private and other times it s simply out of necessity. With only one tap of clean running water in a village it may be the only place for village residents to bathe.

And as such, it is important to know how to bathe in public. Today I bought a lungi which is really just a large piece of opague and patterned fabric which one wraps around oneself to remain decent while bathing. With some clever tying, pinning, or stitching one can remain fully dressed for the duration of the public bathe…genius really!
