Facing the Indian Toilet

So last trip I spent 4 months here and almost entirely avoided these (except for the 1 time on the train to Pushkar). Last night I was dreadfully forced to use this........twice. Emergencies both. It was as awful as you can imagine. So when you think your bathroom isn't clean... omg.And if you were wondering how to "flush"... See bucket of water below. Btw, this is also the Indian version of "toilet paper". Dear god, no I did not go that route. Always carry in your purseAnd if this wasn't bad enough the route to and from the toilet. Anyway.... I had to use someone's cell phone flashlight to get down here and back in the dark. Mini culture check for me, because before I went down I asked the guy, "Is it a real toilet?" and he replied "Yes" it was a real toilet. I get there and am like "Omg this is so NOT a real toilet!"

Love, Janelle
