Hi,

We are now on a trip to check some Bio-gas reactors. We opened a field laboratory to check out what goes out of the bio-gas reactor. This bio-gas reactor is connected to the toilets (that’s another advantage – they build toilets and the hygiene is getting so much better). We checking out how long after it goes out of the reactor it still got human germs that causes diseases.

Yesterday we had another party and we all got drunk again (that is why I didn’t write down anything on the diary yesterday).

In the morning we cast the concrete on the dome, and it worked just wonderful! We put some bamboo underneath it in case it won’t work (we already tested it in Israel, but just in case. It didn’t matter because the dome didn’t even touch it. After we went to eat.

We eat with our hands. You can only use your right hand only. Your left hand is use for toilet. There is no toilet paper and you use your wet left hand to clean up your ass. So your better not confuse, and use your left hand for eating. The food is so spicy, I always finish my plate first because I just push more and more food into my mouth, in thinking it might help to ease the pain. The problem everything is spicy so it just getting more and more spicy….

We went to cast another dome, but that time their way. First to fill up the hole they have just dug with mud (I feel like in the army: digging holes and fill them up just because there is nothing better to do). It took them two and a half hours with our help. Our method took only half an hour. The main problem is to take up the mud when the concrete had hardened. We still have things to change in the frame we had built them. Changing the materials to more local materials and change the design to a cheaper one

That’s all I guess.

Take Care
