Tadyaw



In remote places where there's no water, drinking water is sourced from a deep well, or a deepwell pump. Then they're put in a tadyaw (a jar used specifically to store drinking water). Because it's made of clay, it cools the water inside so when you do drink the water, it's refreshing. I remember drinking water taken from jars like this when I was small, now I drink bottled.

Same here.

Hmm… now you've given me an idea though. I should get one for my drinking water. I don't like it room temp, but neither do I like it cold — a tadyaw would be perfect.

The tadyaw is beautiful and so is the wall. I love the colors and materials in this photo!
