today i received an email from my friend karri (a.k.a nek and kerewin)
now, she is the most adorable thing and whenever
i am down, she is always there to cheer me
and we have the greatest late night laughs
she is spending the summer in posados, argentina
clearly quite an adventure
and this is a snippet of her email...

They showed me the room I would sleep in and the little bathroom
just off of it. I was made to understand that the little bathroom was
only for when the other was occupied and it was emergency status. One
note about Argentina, and most likely any other South American country, no
one EVER sleeps. Everyone in the house was up past midnight and I finally
said I had to hit the hay. One thing about flying, there are always people waiting in line for the
bathrooms so it is kind of embarrassing to stink one up, plus I have
performance anxiety, so it just isn’t even possible for me to, to, ummm,
well, YOU KNOW. Then I was whisked right away onto the sightseeing
journey and then another plane and THEN a house full of strangers, none of
whom would go to bed. There was not a chance to go, as my friend Gareth
said, “Oh lord, just say it..poo!” So I woke on Saturday at 6am having
not gone, ummmm, you know, poo, for a good 2 days. Well, a small private
bathroom that no one ever uses, early enough in the morning for it to
clear up of smell, sounds like just the right kind of emergency for me.
Afterwards I felt sooooooooooooooooooo much better. Until I went to
flush. Hmmmmm, where the hell was the handle? For that matter where the
hell was the tank? It was just a toilet connceted to the wall. I found
several faucet handles, but upon further inspection none of them were for
flushing. There was a hole in the wall above the toilet and I looked into
it, hmmm the tank! Behind the wall and seems to be missing its lid. It
looked like it had been made in 1899 but at least I was onmy way to a
solution. However I haven’t ever flushed a toilet without the handle
before and didn’t have a single clue as how to operate one. I kinda
pushed and pulled at some wires. No go.
I see the foater thing that goes down when you flush the toilet (you know
the thing that measures the water level and shuts the water off when the
tank is full?) well I was exausted of other ideas so I pushed it down.
Hard enough to make it stay down, not too hard though, remember this is an
antique. Well it stayed down and the water in the tank turned on and no
big surprise, the toilet didn’t flush. What brilliance! I mean, if I had
been thinking about, I would have known that would happen. Who was
thinking though?
So the toilet doesn’t flush and the tank is filling up, oh SHIT,
literally. What to do now? I try to pull the floater thing up, to shut
off the water, nope. Mess with a few of the wires and this has the exact
same response as before, nothing. And now the water is starting to
overflow!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh SHITSHITSHITSHITSHIT. What a great morning.
So I give in and go out into the living room. It is my one lucky break
that Sergio just happened to be awake (didn’t I tell you these people
never sleep?). So I asked him for help (actually upon reflection I
realized that I said, “I need to help” but he got the idea). The first
thing Sergio does is pull some little wire sticking out in the front that
any sane person would have realized was the way to flush the toilet. Then
he spends about 2 more cyucles of flushing and filling getting the plunger
thing to come back up. Apparently there used to be a full wall and a
little button to push to flush the toilet, but it broke and they had to
break into the wall, probably the reason few people used that bathroom.
Anyway, I couldn’t have been MORE embarrassed, but Sergio was really
really cool about it. I have the suspicion that he doesn’t realize that I
shoved that plunger thing down, or maybe he does. This is already quite
the letter and I am only on the second day so perhaps I should just sum up
from here...

see why she is so adorable? she cant even say 'poo'
muhahahahhahahahahaa
