The Art of Squatting

What happens when the only American toilet's handle is ripped off?  We just go to the other toilets, if you can call them that.  They're more like holes in the ground with plastic over them.  Basically, I didn't know we could still use the American toilet by flushing it down with buckets of water.  So, I've been using the squat pot for a couple of weeks now.  I'm proud to say that I am a master of the squat pot.  Really, I've become quite comfortable with it.  It's really not that difficult, I mean it's not the most relaxing way to do your business, but it gets the job done.  

Oh, and I don't know if I've told you all, but I have lovely shower mates.  I don't think I've gone a straight week without seeing one of my disgusting "friends" scampering along the floor of the bathroom while I'm showering.  To think that I've been living in Thailand for 8 months going on 9 taking showers with these creatures.  Only one more month with my "lovely" friends, then I will have to depart from them forever.  I will not miss these cockroaches, not one bit!
