There's This Hole In The Ground

We lived in this very strange dichotomy the whole time we were overseas...

So much time was spent on US Military bases that I didn't always feel like I was in another country. I mean... I was in Italy for the first time in my life, yet I ate at Subway 3 times... Hmmm.... No matter where we are on the road... we canNOT get away from Subway! I mean, I love it... but just not what I think of when I think about "food" in Italy.

So being in the Bahrain airport or I guess more specifically... the women's bathroom of the Bahrain airport... was truly a new experience for me. I've heard about the "hole in the ground" but never experienced it. I walked in and at first all I saw was the little hose on the wall and not any toilet paper. I was thinking, Ummm... NOT gonna happen.

I think I didn't see the TP because the toilet hole was COVERED in what I choose to believe was water all over the ground.

Gross.

So... I was mostly trying to figure out "How am I gonna do this?" See... I am 5'2" therefore, my pants are always too long and drag the ground. So trying to hold my pants up OFF the ground while simultaneously trying to... well... you know... Plus, I didn't want to touch the walls so, trying to balance without touching anything while holing my pants both up and down... yeah... I ended up laughing at myself for a while afterwards.



I do appreciate that the hole in the ground was made to still look like a toilet. I mean, at least it was a decorative hole, right? :)

Peace. Love. Fiddle.
