We live in the upstairs flat of this house. It is unusual as it has a front garden. It has a kind of broad leaved grass which only grows when it rains, then they cut it with a machete. There is a small back garden as well which is mainly huge trees so is very shady. My landlady gives us bananas, mangos and breadfruit off the tree - the mangos are delicious, far better than the ones from the market, but the breadfruit are fairly disgusting to eat, a cross between glue and potato. Another volunteer is moving into the flat below us, and we have a peace corps volunteer in the house at the back - I go and chat to her when we have evening power cuts - she sits outside then because it is too hot inside without the fan going. Our flat is cooler as it is upstairs, and we get a cool cool breeze through the side windows.
Cool house! What sort of floor space does the flat have?
ReplyDeleteI like the sound of mango fresh from the garden, but the breadfruit does sound pretty yuk.
