Random Comment - W.C.

After living in America for the past 21 years, I´ve really only experienced two different toilets. Our common american toilet, and the "turkish toilet" in France. (Basically a room with a place to put your feet, and a hole in the ground). But never before have I had to deal with this new cleaning technique.
It´s a pretty funny story actually.. I was at a VfB Fußball game a while back with a Swedish friend of mine was telling me about his Pakistani roommates. He said that everytime they went to the bathroom, they would fill up a waterbottle, and they would come out of the bathroom with it empty. He said that he would come in there afterwards and water would be EVERYWHERE. While it wasn´t that hard to believe, actually knowing that it was happening in my bathroom too was something else. I have a Tunisian roommate, and it recently turned Ramadan (04.10 - 04.11) Since the Muslims fast during the day, my roommate has company over for dinner etc. etc. But one day short after the 4th, I noticed there was a 2 liter waterbottle near the toilet. At first I was like.. uh... Naaahhh... And then today I couldn't believe it. It´s like someone took a shower with no curtains. And it´s not like it´s still clean water.. it´s foul. Anyway, I´m just waiting for Ramadan to end.
