I don't have any pictures from the snow festival yet, so unfortunately I can't show you guys what just went down. What I can tell you, is that it was wonderful. It even snowed, just a little, but I saw it snowing!
Why the picture of the toilet?
My only beef with the entire trip was every time I had to poo, all I could find were these squat toilets. Every now and again, you might get lucky and find a western one, but not when you had to go. Either way, I refuse to use these just because it looks like you're probably either going to fall forward or have a mess on your shoes. Usually, the sides are all covered in poo too, so you know you're accuracy can't be that great.
But that got me thinking: Why? Who made these and why?
Why do they still make these? You know they've seen the Western ones. If they haven't, you know they've seen "the chair." There had to have been someone who was like, "hey, I've got an idea guys, lets cut a hole, right in the middle of this chair, that way poo doesn't get all over our shoes."
You probably had some guy in the back that shouted "bad idea, lets stick with the hole in the ground." And then probably a bunch of old men who grumbled about how they don't like change.
What a jerk that guy.
Anyway, a picture Wednesday, if I can get it.
*edited for language, for all my younger cousins.
the holes-in-the-ground almost certainly require far less maintenance than the US luxury chair.
