Mongolia...
Has possibly the worst toilets I have ever been in...

Now most of Asia (and quite rightly, it is good for your legs and body) squats for the toilet...

And considering that Mongolia is the size of Germany, Italy, France and Spain has only about 80 miles of road leads some idea that the flushing toilet hasn't quite reached there...

So they have...holes in the ground, surrounded by a hut...And over the holes, two planks...one for each foot...

A number of times I ended up retching at these places and a few times it was cleaner to piss/shit outside the hut than in it...The worst times were those moments that you peer in to the blackness and have no idea how much shit is down there...And then you squat and feel drops splashing against your arse...Anyhow...

I broke my leg and had to hop everywhere - we were 12 days from Ulan...Everyone on the trip went inside some lovely house to eat and I hadn't shit properly for days...So decided to take my time and the opportunity for letting the world fall out of my bottom...

I hopped on to the board, and got ready to stick my left leg out to the side in readiness for a one-legged, two-armed squat...To hear a crack on the board...

There was that moment of "I'm going to die in a load of shit" that run through my mind, along with an image of me neck deep in shit, feeling it all around my body...

Thankfully, and possibly the reason I now have a screwed left foot, I legged (sic) out of the hut...

The damn plank had indeed cracked...and I shat outside...
