We told you about the almost deserted beach 5 minutes walk from our house. When moving in I had a somewhat idyllic image in my mind about us going for morning and evening swims on a quiet tropical beach. I must admit that this image has been shattered. We now use the beach for running in the morning...only! The locals also use the beach (especially in the morning)…but neither for running nor swimming! (You might have guessed it already, no?)
In the poor communities the sanitary arrangements are not as we are used to from home. Most houses neither have running water nor toilet facilities, so it’s only perfectly logical that the people go to the one and only place nearby where their shit (I said the word!) is actually flushed away…just like we also prefer with ours.
Cannot help thinking about the poor guys who were caught with their pants down on christmas morning 2004 when the tsunami stroke.
