So I totally forgot about something that happened in Guayaquil and early apoligies if you don’t like reading gross or obscene things but this is something I just have to share. So back to the really expensive looking apartment I stayed in with my familia in Guayaquil…
So when I arrived as I explained in my ‘Getting There’ post, I was busting to go to the toilet. When we got back to the house, I ran straight into the ensuite and used the toilet. Putting the toilet paper into the bin provided as previously adivised, I was feeling pretty good about myself. The time to flush came along and well I was confused. There was no button and only a showerhead looking thing attached to the wall that you can pick up and spray water with. So watering the contents of the bowl down until the water turned clear, I smiled.
The next day however let’s just say this method did not go to plan and we had a bigger mess than we first began with. I was in a panic. A horrific panic. Opening up the window and turning the shower head on so buy some extra time, I ran around in a frenzy trying to work out what to do. In all this crazy, I slipped over and landed next to the toilet and the wall. It was here that I found the tiny little flush button on the SIDE of the toilet. None of you understand how much embarrassment I felt that day. None of you. I am still scarred by my idiocy and plain dumbness that I cannot put it into words.
Try going to Ireland and looking for the bathroom in the train station. How is a Jamaican supposed to know it’s called a water closet there? And coins for using the bathroom?? You actually pay cash to use it?!! Who knew?!!
Oh wow haha that would hae been terrible! What? You had to pay? Going to the bathroom shoulod be free everywhere in the world!
Do tell. Were these bathroom dramas shared with your family? The pictures in my head of you Mikayla in your bathroom dramas are inbedded there for a very long time as I am sure they will be forever in yours. Xx
How could I tell them? I had known them for like two days and I did not want first impressions to include this haha.
