Cultural Experience #1

Having problems with clogged toilet's because of excessive toilet paper use. Here's your answer! The blue hose on the left wall is used for cleaning yourself up instead of using toilet paper. In orientation, one of the topics was the use of this hose and the benefits of it. Toilets are easily clogged in Lopburi as every house is on a septic system. After initial hesitation and lots of questions, we are happy converts to this new way of cleaning.

hmmm...not sure if this falls into the catergory of 'too much information' :)
perhaps I will return the favour and tell you that my mother-in-law was trying to convert Mark and I to the benefits of this method the other day. mmm....returning to my initial thought 'overshare!!!'

great to be hearing about how things are going for you both!!

LOL! I was thinking the same things as Scott and Sam! Yes, please answer that question... How do you dry your butt!!

To dry there are two options. One option is to use some toilet paper to dry. The hardcore option is to just to pull up your pants and the wetness will dry pretty quickly in the hot weather.

The water is cold but again it is very hot here so the water is never very cold.

Yes, I did consider whether this entry was too much information, but you need to know some of the everyday things we are experiencing I think not just the censored stuff!

wow, that's quite fascinating!

must kinda be nice for the rear end to get a cool blast of water whilst it's so hot ...

thanks for sharing the experience with us!
