Here is my toilet..so to speak. It's really funny to me that this is what it comes down to. Yes I'm a volunteer that lives in a bigger city and I do have some amenities that some volunteers don't (phone, electricity, cold drinks), but this seems to be the common denominator. Only in Africa can you be so far ahead and behind at the same time. "Yeah, we got cellphones now, but that toilet thing..we'll get around to that" ;)

Ah, the characteristic smell of the third world. I'm very glad to see you have a good water filter. I look forward to your future posts!
