So. After class today, four of us girls had appointments at the beauty salon (services are SO much cheaper here)! Anyways, we were walking along, when up ahead we see that a street was flooding with water running down it. As we got closer, a god awful stench permeated the air. The water happened to be from a dirty water line that overflowed - thus causing tons of dirty, bathroom POO water to come rushing down the street, bearing unidentified floating objects. We had no choice but to cross the river - it was the only way to get to the salon that we knew of. Other people were crossing it as well. So, we got plastic bags from a nearby store and put them over our shoes. Then we crossed. OH MY GOD it was terrible. The smell was so bad that I couldn't stop dry-heaving even after we had crossed it and were a block away. Not to mention that the plastic bags fell off in the middle of the river. Yes, we did wash our hands once we got to the salon, but I am still paranoid that I might have contracted a fatal disease from the toxic water. The experience was so bad that I absolutely refused to cross it again on the way home. I paid for a taxi.
