No running water in the house, but in the yard. Out house a bit away from the main house, my house had electricity and of course TV.
You cook with coal and fire.
The food is really good. I learned how to cook Plov ( i dont know how to write it) the hospitality amazing. when ever you have a visitor you need to offer some bread and Chai. And you share all the food you have.
If you are 21 and not married you are out of the concept, especially girls.
