misery loves western toilets

nothing cheers a girl up more than stumbling upon a western style toilet! they are the gem of the trip. there's another professor who adores them as much as i do and i told her i found one at this museum we stopped at and she literally ran for it. western cans are usually for handicapped, but when it comes to using "hole in the floor" i am indeed handicapped. (in fact this signage on this one said "invalid only").

at the restaurant yesterday i really had to go .... i had held it all day and it was time to let go ... but the only thing is the restroom floor was coated in a layer of grease, so it was impossible to get traction, and thus, hit the hole. imagine trying to pee with one leg on a dock and one on a boat slowing pulling away.... and being relaxed enough to pee. doesn't quite work, so i closed up shop and just waited till we got back to the hotel.
