Squatty Potty

Ok, so we understand this pix is totally gross (taken at airport in Aceh)…however…it does show the typical bathroom setup here in Indo (although it’s usually much cleaner, seriously) The squatty potty to the left is simply as it’s name suggests & the cement container on the right is called a “bak.” This is filled up with water via a tap and then the dipper in the pix is used to scoop the water out & pour it on your body for bathing. The dipper is also used to flush the squatty potty. We just enjoyed our 1st hot shower in 2 weeks the other day…wow, that was nice!

When we move into our place in Jan, we’ll still have to install a few Western amenities like running water, a toilet & hot shower …you know, the basics :)
