最近、断水が多いですね。
食器洗いには飲料水を使っています。
山に行ったつもりでいます。
断水でも水場まで水を汲みに行く必要がありません。
そう思うと気が楽になります。
断水の間は洗い物の関係で丼ぶりもの・煮物のぶっかけ飯が多くなります。
We've had frequent water outages lately.
I've been using drinking water to wash the dishes.
I try to imagine that I'm out in the mountains.
Even with the water cut off, I don't have to go all the way to a water source to fetch some—thinking of it that way makes things feel a bit easier.
During these outages, because of the dishwashing situation, I tend to make a lot of "one-bowl" meals—things like *donburi* (rice bowls) or dishes served over rice.
市の水道局のホームページを開いても断水の表示はありません。
私は断水・停電の事前連絡は必要だと思います。
皆さんはどう思いますか。
私は少しづつ此処の習慣に慣れてきました。
日本の感覚を捨てないと不満だらけになり暮らしてゆけません。
The city water department's website doesn't mention a water outage.
I believe they should provide advance notice of water or power outages.
What do you all think?
I have gradually become accustomed to the local customs here.
Unless I let go of the feeling I brought from Japan, I will end up constantly dissatisfied and unable to get by.
