Runny Tummy

the good and bad of runny tummy in SA:
1.there is no pepto bismal, so when you run out you must request a care package
2.you get a care package that contains goodies along with pepto
3.it is a constant battle to stay hydrated as water must first be
hauled, then boiled and filtered
4.you perfect the art of lighting a stove without getting burned
5.you cannot use the pee bucket at night
6.you do not have to empty and clean the pee bucket in the morning
7.the toilet paper runs out more quickly
8.you have an excuse to go into town, you need tp
9.you are constantly running out to the pit
10.you get fit with all the trips back and forth
11.you have something to talk about when you see other pcvs
12.it gets you out of bed in the morning
13.you have a reason to stay at home
14.the flies...
15.your host family starts to tally your toilet usage
16.you get to submit stool samples to the pcmo
17.the hypocondriac thoughts of possible causes
18.no wasted water with excess toilet flushes
19.it makes you appreciate the healthy days
20.it gives you memories to last a lifetime
