lou Posted July 19, 2011 Posted July 19, 2011 Several locals have told me that they do not shower when they have a cold or are sick here. i asked them why is that? but they reply that they do not know, only that momma says that. Does anyone know why this is ? No showers for 3 days, yikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know why this is ? No showers for 3 days, yikes.No idea but it is tradition with many Filipino families I know. When asked, all they could tell me is that it was their tradition.My ex wife was horrified when I would shower when i was sick but 16 years in Australia has given her a different outlook on life.Regards; Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
