Pooping in holes

Really, how have I not talked about this yet?!? Below are pictures of my bathroom/shower facilities. The door on the far right opens to the area where a bucket of hot and cold water are brought each morning for me to bathe.



Below is the actual latrine. The plug is covering the hole, and it slants down so that urine runs out. There's also a little reservoir for hand washing.



This is the sign that's up on the wall. The small print on the bottom says: "If your intelligence is insulted by these instructions, we apologize. You should have seen some of the antics previous users have tried while attempting to pee in the hole. We wish to spare you that indignity."




Somewhat surprisingly, it is very easy to use, and I don't have a problem with it. The only annoying part is that it seems to be impossible to avoid small splattering on the feet - good thing the water spigit is there to rinse them off!
