Toilet Talk BEWARE



At some request I am sharing some toilet information...western toilets are few and far between..but they are not as scarce as toilet paper. Beside every toilet (squatter or pot) there is bucket and tap. Sometimes there are three buckets, sometimes there is a spray nozzle( very similar to Thailand) Now for those that did not know: the left hand is used for cleaning purposes and washing. The tap beside the pot is what you fill up and flush with, and the second pot is what you wash with...or if its high class you have the spray nozzle. However it tends to be high pressured and not always pleasant. There is much more to explain but at risk of turning away many readers of this blog I will stop here and answer any questions when I get home or you can e-mail me. Beleive me..there are still questions that I need answered: like how the shower is supposed to work in the place I am staying right now...it has me baffled.

Don't feel bad for being squeemish... Karishma and Yashi completely refused to use the squat toilets the entire month we were there - we had to drive them to high end hotels to use the facilities ;)
