The Kuwaiti Facilities
Sorry this post took a bit of time to post...I started it two weeks ago and never got around to finishing it. OK...now lets do this thing!
Ok I am now in Baghdad, but first a few words on using the "facilities" in Kuwait.
Ok I am now in Baghdad, but first a few words on using the "facilities" in Kuwait.
To begin with There is alot of desert in Kuwait. I know all of us have seen deserts in movies and on TV but there is no real way to wrap your mind around one until you are in one. Sand blowing around you and it is all you see for miles and miles...sand! The sun is at 120 degrees by 10 am!
Now your living in a tent and you have to go...Well then you are going in a port-a-potty. Because, you see, there is no indoor plumbing in the desert.
I have known some people in my life who would never, ever use a outdoor toilet...I men they would probably go in their pants before going out in a port-a-john.
No such luck in Kuwait.
In these there is graffiti expounding the wonders of Chuck Norris and others. There is not alot of room and if you are lucky there is toilet paper. They hired these locals to come in every few hours and clean them up but some days are better than others. Now here is the real kicker. They didnt position some of these near lights. So if you gotta go and it is night time you have to go in the stone dark of the desert....so bring a flash light.
Now I am in Baghdad...where in this area they have in door plumbing....I never thought I would be so happy to hear a toilet flush in my life!
