So after nearly three weeks I'm finally getting my head around this toilet situation. See, I got used to the Thai way quickly but something disturbs me about the S.A way. See, you can't flush anything down the loo. I always like to have a barrier between me and the water. A few sheets of paper does the trick. This prevents splash-back which no one is a fan of. Anyway, anything else that isn't human waste goes into the bin. Not a difficult concept to grasp but much harder to follow. After all, I like taking a fat wad of four-ply paper and sending it down the sewage. Here, paper can sit in the bin for hours, sometimes days. Very ewwy. Some bins without lids. Double ewwy.
Ha. So be grateful you're at home and don't even think about me wasting the day away at the beach, polishing up my tan. Just be grateful you're not me... at least two or three times a day.
