That’s very luxurious! Nice job. What these photos fail to convey is the horrid stench emitted by these toilet “facilities.” One has to have a serious case of the trots to force oneself into the immediate vicinity, let alone to “commence action.”

What else would 19 year-old boys do? We never used the public restrooms, and heaven knows there were times we needed to after eating at some of the locals’ homes! Still, we would squeeze a dime and wait till we could trot home. It’s hard to believe this was better than the public places, or even using the john in the homes.

I have to admit, this was the worse place I lived in while there, and it was at the beginning of my stay. Most of our apartments were pretty nice with Italian furniture and Spanish tile. Towards the end we had a few apartments with air conditioning! It’s amazing how much $300/mo. will do for you in a country like that.

Flusing with the bucket controlled the stench at home.
