down the flusher
Before a big night out I was feeling a little nervous, to the point of nausea. I rushed to the toilet to throw up. Feeling a little worse for wear I flushed it all away. Only to instantly regret it. Something was missing. Now what was it? I liked my lips. My front tooth. My false front tooth. It had fallen out while I threw up. And I had flushed it down the toilet. I couldn't go out now. I felt incomplete. I had looked forward to this night for months.
A trip to the dentist provided me even more misery. It would take 2 weeks for a new one to be made and would cost $600. So I walked around for a week missing my front tooth - all I needed was prison tatts to complete the look.

Xiahe
While holidaying in China I stayed in a remote village (the village with 5 walls) in the Sangke grasslands near Xiahe.
The toilet was at the entrance to the house. It was a hole in the ground with with straw in it, with a wooden plank over it to squat on and a short wooden wall to protect your modesty. A donkey kept you company while you did your business.
It was one of the cleaner toilets in the region. The public toilets were nasty. They were just a concrete block with a hole for the toilet. There were dividing walls between the toilet at hip height but no door.
And of course they smelt really, really bad.

» Weird Traditions
Japanese Train Drivers
Japan has lots of strange traditions.
Japanese train drivers do all sorts of wonderful hand signals while they're driving, all while wearing white gloves.
When they see a green light ahead they put their index finger straight up in front of their eye and they extend it forward to point at the light and then bring it back again.
When they pull in to a station they point to the top of the timetable and scroll it down till they get to the current stop.
ps. I'm not a Japanese train driver and haven't been forced to do it.
pps. I'm not a trainspotter either.

» Childhood bad taste
"Look Mum! Sausages!"
Once when I was a toddler I was wandering around the neighbourhood. I saw a brown, sausage shaped object lying on the ground.
"Sausages!" I thought excitedly.
I picked it up in my sticky little hands and ran home.
"Look Mum! Sausages!" I said with a huge grin.
"Put it down! ... Dirty!" Mum said with a horrified look on her face and took me to the bathroom to wash my poo stained hands.
