Things I've Learned in Peace Corps

Things I've Learned in Peace Corps
My first thought upon losing power this evening was, "Noooo, I don't want to use a Turkish toilet in the dark. Think of the potential for things to go horrible wrong." The problem was solved when my downstairs neighbors brought me a candle (and admonished me not to light my clothes on fire), but it turns out not everything is more romantic by candlelight.

  1. ...So how does that work? In case I ever have to use a Turkish toilet, you know?

  2. Pop a squat and do your business, then dump a bucket of water down the hole to flush it.

  3. Oh my. A picture is worth a thousand words.

  4. Luckily I had scrubbed the toilet early that day, so my bathroom was clean enough for a picture of it to be posted to the Internet.
