I really thought this blog was on a roll, and would be flushed with success.

The toilets in the Philippines have a lot more water in them, and a different shaped bowl.
If you're in a place that doesn't have a flushing toilet, you flush it yourself using a water scoop.

Quality toilet info. High tech toilets grind my gears. Toilets should be used more as a place of refuge.
