As many
of you know, I was a little apprehensive about the bathroom situation in India.
Squat toilets? No toilet paper? Turns out it’s not so bad. First of all, squat
toilets just aren’t that hard to use. In fact, I’ve decided that I would take a
disgusting squat toilet over a disgusting western toilet any day of the week.
The whole non-usage of toilet paper is still a little weird. For those of you
who don’t know, you use water and your left hand to get the job done. That part
doesn’t really freak me out, especially because so much of Indian culture takes
this practice into account (i.e. using your right hand to eat, washing your
hands a lot, etc.). The worst part is you don’t have anything to dry yourself
with after you use the bathroom. Even if everything is clean, I hate pulling my
pants up over a wet bottom. Anyway, it’s really not as bad as you’d think and
I’m sure I’ll be used to it soon enough.
