By popular demand: a picture of the "Loo". I didn't think I could get a good shot of it since it is so small and there is a wall opposite the door, preventing me from backing up very far. But, it worked out fine!
Notice the fancy tiers of flooring... I was quite certain that I would injure myself in the middle of the night, but I've adapted quite well. The jug in the picture contained water that I've distilled and use to brush my teeth and a final hair rinse. There is running water, but it is full of mud and iron. I'll write about the water here another day, it's a whole topic in and of itself!
I believe that only the school and teacher housing have flush toilets here, the rest of the village is on a honey bucket system. Honey buckets are basically buckets with toilet seats. I'm thankful for this level of convenience, no wonder my young friends always ask if they can use my bathroom when they visit!
