Does a Bear **** In The Woods? A Hunter's story....
next time you see me, ask me to tell you about going to the bathroom when you're out hunting in the middle of the woods! unless you're specifically carrying a roll of TP, a dollar bill works just fine. ask me and i'll show you the technique.
i was originally going to stay in a hotel near the beach. Change of plans, because it was about 45 min from the plant and 20 min from where D was staying. So, i could have stayed in the 5 star hotel across the street or bunk in with D. So we bunked because it's cheaper!
The lobby of the apartment building I ended up staying in!
Bunking in with D is not a hardship, other than no internet availability. (i have to get let into the building managers office at night and can't leave or go back to the room until D. picks me up because the elevator is card coded and the lobby is guarded, and he only has one card.
i digress......
so on the way from the airport, we have to stop and shop! we get a sheet to cover with, because the bed has a down comforter on it, and bath and hand towel. (there is no maid service!) i had my own toothpaste, soap, and shampoo so we were set.
get here and there is no TP in the bathroom! that is just wrong.......
so, after a 3hr flight and last night's outdoor barbeque, i needed to ......!
the TP holder has a cover on it and so it wasn't until to late that i discovered my problem. being intuitive and inventive, all i had was a $100 RMB bill. little smaller that a US $1 bill, but adequate!
so after dinner that night, we walked past the 24 hour convenient mart and i got a couple bottles of water and a roll of TP. problem solved!
The next evening after work, we walked to a supermarket/mall extravaganza a couple of blocks away! i bought a bowl for my noodles that we can cook because we have a hot water pot and can boil our water. D. had an extra set of chopsticks for me. i bought some wax apples, hmmmmm and some bread and a juice for breakfast. and some yogurt! but that's tomorrows story!
update: i saw the no TP problem before hand and had a tissue pack in my carryon that worked just fine. you have to admit it is a funny story and i'ld still like to show you the hunting technique if i haven't already!
