Squatters

I had planned to "rough it" to a degree on our trip (i.e. no hairdryer, no styling brush, and v. limited wardrobe) but a couple days into our trip, I officially down-shifted into my lowest maintenance mode upon our first encounter with the squat toilet. For anyone who hasn't seen this before, it is basically just a hole in the ground with a porcelin basin surrounding it--sort of like a urinal embedded in the ground. I'm going to need some practice with this one...squat toilet = 1, allison = 0. And whoever gave me the advice to carry tissues with me always, thanks!

haa...I think Greg lost to the Phillipines squatter too -- losing a sock in the process due to lack of TP. Always wear a few pairs of socks ;)
