Something I Won't Miss From Macedonia....
With my time here dwindling down to less than 3 months, I've done a lot of thinking about the things I'm going to miss when I leave. And believe me, the list is quite hefty. This, however, is something that I'll never miss. This is a Turkish Toilet. I had no idea these existed until I came here, but I got to know them as soon as I stepped off the plane when I arrived here almost 2 years ago. A few of us had to use the bathroom in the airport, so we made our way to the bathroom and as I opened the stall door, I stared at something very similar to this picture and said outloud, "What the crap is this?" One of the other volunteers was like, "Oh, it's a Turkish Toilet." Needless to say, I've gotten pretty cozy with quite a few Turkish Toilets in my 2 years here, as they frequent bus stations, restaurants, and cafes. I've definitely mastered the technique of successfully using one and not getting unwanted substances on my clothes (ladies- skirts work best). I've even had conversations with other volunteers about the places with the best Turkish Toilets (a restaurant called El Pida in Kocani wins so far). So, as sad as it makes me to think of things I'll miss, I can't help but get a little excited about not having to face these anytime in the near future...
