Day 39 – Life in Africa
I washed a water purifier. It is going to be used at my new house.
In Malawi, you can drink water from faucet directly. But JICA recommends purifying and boiling the water. As my experience, it is no problem to cook soup made of water from the faucet.
I continually went to shopping for moving in today. I bought foods and ingredients such as pasta, rice, spices, and so on.
Finally, I finished the shopping. The items are below.
