Squatters

Quick side note on the toilet situation here--squat toilets. In nice places, that means a porcelain toilet bowl built into the ground. In floating homes, that means a hole down into the river. Our hotels have all had western toilets. Anyway, today on our boat trip we made one stop at a floating house that had crocodiles out back. There was a rickety deck built over them to cage them in, and a French woman went in to use the bathroom, which was a hole in the deck down into the crocodile pits. Thankfully, I did not have to use it.
