Toilet

OK so I have yet to really do any blogging but I wanted to take this chance to fill yall in on the toilets over here. The water does not really spin clockwise our counter clock wise, it just kinda goes strait down, or gets sucked down if you will. As for the toilets themselves you are required to stand and poop, and pee as well if you are a girl. If you are confused dont you worry pictures will soon follow, hopefully we can get them posted on the blog soon??? Oh and you have to take your pants off so as not to get any one yourself.
If you were thinking that was all that could be interesting about the toilet you would be sorely mistaken. They do not use toilet paper here!!! They have a hose that eerily resembles the one we have in America on the kitchen sink (you know the one you clean your vegetables with). They expect you to use this to wash your bottom after pooping!!! or Peeing for the girls
Dont worry we have a volunteer that will demonstrate this action in photos or maybe a video if we are lucky? Her name is Hannah, some of you may know her, yeah???
So the next time you are cleaning your vegetables remember Indonesians use that same hose to clean a certain part of their body :-) A popular saying her is that if it is wet then it must be clean!!!

SO lets recap shall we
1. The water flushes strait down, no swirling!
2. You must poop, and or pee standing up, with bottom off cause it can get kinda messy otherwise.
3.you must not wipe, but use a hose that looks like the one on your kitchen sink.
4. If you make it through all that you just have to put your bottoms back on without getting them all wet

But remember in Indonesia WET IS CLEAN!!!

sorry for any bad grammar or misspellings, they have my mind all fried over here, and im not very good with the english language
