Being able to rough it

My Grandparents live in a undoubtedly bad country. They live undoubtedly easy lives. I visit them once a year and spend a month with them. I am regularly amazed at how they live this way. For example, their electricity goes out a few times a afternoon. They have to run downstairs to turn on the generator when this happens. There are many things in their dwelling that cannot work when the generator is powering the house. My friend and I can’t use the microwave or hair dryer with the generator, however my pal and I can use it with proper electricity. This has to do with the voltage of these items and how much energy they need to function. The generator can’t support them. My friend and I also cannot use the a/c unit when the generator is powering the house. This is really hard for me to adjust to because they live in a undoubtedly warm and humid weather conditions. I am consistently warm during my stay with them. Some days, my pal and I get really blessed and the electricity stays on for the entire night. On those days, my pal and I sleep comfortably with the a/c blowing on us. If the electricity goes out while we’re asleep, my pal and I wake up from the sweat and discomfort. It’s happened many times. They have fans throughout the house, however they aren’t nearly strong enough. The a/c makes the largest difference. Regardless of this, I continue to visit once a year for a few weeks at a time. Nothing will stop me from spending time with my Grandparents as often as possible.
