Water Card

Cards are crucial to life here. Water, electricity, and cooking gas all have cards. You take the card somewhere, add money to the card, bring the card home, and put it in the meter which adds so much water, gas or electricity to your available supply. I hadn’t put any money on my water card since I arrived. I stepped in the shower this morning. Before I have even grabbed the soap, the water shut off. I had used all my available water. Time to make a quick run to the water place. At least it happened this week since there is a big holiday next week.
