Thirsty??

Drinking pots on the sidewalk, these pottery recipients are porous, they keep the water cool, this is what people used before refrigerators! You can still find people use them, in the city or the villages. So, you basically fill it with water and put it on a tray (cause it will leak) and then place it in the balcony to cool.
