Today my life was changed… Today, I used what is known as a “squatty potty” for the first time. Basically you just squat over a hole in the bottom of the outhouse and boom you are in the midst of a squatty potty. I really needed to use the bathroom, because well my stomach is still adjusting to the food. This was in the middle of the day while we were out working. So I told my team that I might not make it till the end of the day and so they suggested that I go over to a house nearby and use their squatty….. I looked at them and said “haha not a chance” well needless to say, about ten minutes later I was walking to this house, I can’t believe how nervous I was to do this. I had Rachel with me because when in another country you can’t go anywhere alone… So I’m sure she had a blast walking with me just knowing what was about to go down. I guess I was a little more frazzled then I’m letting on to right now. Because when I finished and stepped out of the “poopshack” as I like to call it, Rachel couldn’t help but burst out laughing because of the look on my face and the fact that I was sweating bullets. I just thought I’d share my first experience with this terrifying topic. It wasn’t nearly as… crappy… as I thought it would be.
