I had somehow kept a lpt of disposable chopsticks that came with sushi packs. I used these to light fires and found them very useful in starting bonfires or charcoal fires.

Because we had no water to waste, we put plastic food wrap on our dinner plates. We could throw away the wrap after our meal and thus avoide washing up.

I remember it rained about three days after the earthquake. At the time, all our family rushed out to lay all the containers we had out in the garden so as to collect rainwater. We used this water to wash the dishes after meals. Each time it rains, it always reminds me of this.
