Today, the city of Groningen woke up to find not one drop of water due to problems with the water pressure system. Although I initially thought it was a conspiracy, I soon realized there was in fact a shortage. Classes were even cancelled. Yes, Monday has been a strange and smelly day in Groningen due to the lack of showers and flushing toilets, however, the water was up and running again by mid-day. The city advises to boil tap water before drinking for up to two days - hence the photo above from a bathroom at my university. Ironic that in a very developed country normally fighting water, a shortage can still occur. Although the whole thing has been a bit amusing, it was a good lesson because I really take water for granted.
