It's so funny to me how things that are simple and mindless in the States, can be time consuming and complicated here. The other day, I told Kara that I could take her into town on my 4-wheeler as soon as I flushed my toilet. Ok, so, in the States, that takes what, one or two seconds? Here, that can take around fifteen minutes (*when I don't have water) by the time I find a bucket, walk down to the well, pump the water by hand, and carry the bucket back up to my house. Who would ever think flushing a toilet could involve that kind of work and sweat? Really though, I need to be thankful that I have a toilet. People around here don't have toilets or even latrines.
