Toilet Trouble

This post should be a few days old too. So, the bathroom in the girls room has a tub, sink, american toilet, and a "hole in the ground" desi toilet. Shortly after getting here, the american one broke. Fun stuff. And no, I didn't break it, the plunger thingy broke, the thing that flushes the toilet. So I had to use the desi toilet. No biggie. Just take the pants off. All the way. Until I, yes, ME, I broke the desi toilet. One might ask, "well, how do you break a hole in the ground?" and the answer would have to be "Trust me, it's very possible, just throw wipes and napkins down it." I ended up fishing most of the wipes out of it (ewww) when they came back up, but there's probably still one down there, because it doesn't flush too well.

So we need a plumber. Only, my brother in law is too lazy to get one. Or something. If we had a plunger that would probably work, but for some reason, we don't have one, despite there being 5 toilets in this 3 bedroom house.

UPDATE:
Abou just fixed the american toilet today, he bought a new part for it. Desi toilet is still broken, but alhamdulillah, the american one is working now :)

  1. i never thought it was possible to break a hole in the ground toilet! glad to know it is. btw they're not desi toilets b/c if u go to saudi, that's how their toilets are most of the place. i find it more hygienic b/c ur not touching something someone else did. make sense? glad we could discuss this...lol.

  2. Yeah, I think the toilets are like that in most places between Western Europe and Japan, holes in the ground, I mean. Nice discussion though. :P
