DISADVANTAGES:
ºThe swarms of flies and mosquitoes.
ºThe more frequent power outtages.
ºIt takes days for your freshly washed clothes to dry on the line.
ºGetting caught outside in a downpour (think: you're standing under a waterfall. YES I know it rains where you live but, well, nevermind...just come down here and experience it for yourself...!).
ºThe humidity! You can cut it with a machete.
ºDirt roads turn into ponds, rivers and/or swamps. See my 4-Wheelin' It entry from last June.
ºWhen the roof leaks (think: you're in a hit sub).
ºOutbreaks of malaria, dengue, and dysentery.
ºDid I mention the swarms of flies & mosquitoes???
