Before I start, I will admit that if my friend Logan was here, he'd be saying "Vijay, please...inside voice, outside voice" With that warning...let me begin.
To make a long story short (and less detailed) I got food poisoning yesterday. I went to the bathroom in the factory, opened a stall and encountered not only a squat toilet, but a bidet as well. Actually, a bidet would be a generous description. It was actually a hose.
I stared long and hard at the hose. This could have been a great opportunity to assimilate with local culture, really adapt...be one of the people. All of that ran through my mind for about 2 seconds. Maybe this is the stubborn American part of me...but I said 'screw this, I'm not about to use a hose'
I ran to my car and told the driver to get me home as quickly as possible. We made the 60 min drive in 52 mins. When I got to work today, I realized that 2 of the 3 stalls are squat toilets but the 3rd one is a Western Toilet with toilet paper.
Vijay = Idiot

ReplyDeleteThose sprayers, some call it a bathroom bidet sprayer are so much better than handfuls of toilet paper! I experienced my first sprayer in Thailand and fell in love with it. I found one online at http://www.bathroomsprayers.com and installed it myself. You won't know how or why you lived without it.
