Chengdu, Day 13


The morning started out different from the other mornings that many of the participants of the OIP. Unknowingly, the water to our rooms was shut, leaving us unable to perform out daily morning routine of bathing and making coffee. The short period of time without the luxury of having water flowing through the pipes was enough to leave us panicking. This activity forces us to relive the lives that many of the Chines have to overcome daily. It truly lets us appreciate the value of water and how fortunate we are to have this luxury unlike many living in this country. Learning to overcome discomfort may be viewed different people, depending on their own daily lives, but for me, this experience is enough to cause me to think.
