The last few days, I discovered something else intelligent about Indonesia: the water heater. It simply knows when I should stop wasting water.
I do not bathe like the average girl you see on TV (those that take an hour in the shower) but I do know I still take quite some time—say about 15 minutes??
OK, I'm a clean freak but I'm not THAT freakish. Most of the time, I hang about in the shower enjoying the hot water. However, here in Country Woods, the shower is being very un-cooperative and very super eco friendly. It turns off the hot water when it senses I no longer use it to wash myself. So when I've rinsed, and its time to get out, the hot water switches off on its own accord and I discover myself standing under streams of cold water—which is not pleasant after a nice hot bath. So I get out of the shower automatically.
Now, some showers tend to stop showering hot water for a bit, then after a while, they give in. Not so with mine, It's awfully strict—times up means times up. I tried once to stay under the cold water for some time but the shower never gave in. Gah.
