TOILET HUMOR

COUNTRYSIDE - YANG LAOSHI'S FAMILY'S HOUSE

!DISCLAIMER! this post is pretty crass-core and not for the faint of heart.

i keep laughing at the thought of that one rugrats episode where chucky is being potty trained and hes terrified to go. i feel like chucky completely. you know its bad when youd straight up rather find a nice spot in the woods instead of using the hellish outhouse. the outhouse here is divided between men and lady's - note the reserved modesty in mixing the sexes. in the lady's room there are two 8" x 24" rectangles carved into the ground with rather shallow holes. in fact, the holes are so shallow that when you pee it splashes god knows where. for safety from rats or new spider webs, one must quickly glance to make sure theyre not squatting to their own disaster, and the visual of waste and maggots makes the experience all the more unpleasant. to add to the general horror, there are spiderwebs at the top of the door (which isnt really a door but an entrance) that the tall visitor continuously walks into on accident. as if the whole kit and kabudal werent bad enough, the first time i worked up the courage (AKA was going to die of septicemia) to use this death trap, mid-squat, a woman comes right in and starts going right next to me. if theres one fine point to an outhouse, its a locked door. im ready to say it, despite the sweet smell of clean mountain air and burning firewood, I WANT TO GO BACK TO KUNMING! go ahead, call me a brat or a city slicker, i dont really care, i want to go home! hahaha, i lasted for more than a day, i should get something for that at least.

until next time,
