Roughin It

When we head out to the hilltribe village, it always feels a little bit like we are going camping. Although we don't sleep in tents and the students prepare our meals, it feels like we are roughin' it. We are privileged to have pretty good bathrooms in the village, although you may not think the same by looking at this picture of the bathroom. This bathroom has four walls,it is relatively enclosed, the holes in the wall are pretty small. The only people that would be able to see anything inside would be someone that wanted to peek and came right up to the wall to look. (Hasn't happened yet at least to my knowledge!!) Going to the bathroom can be a touch experience if you are paranoid that people are watching. A couple of the villages I have been to, the bathrooms aren't this good. When you go to the bathroom, pretty much the whole village could see into the bathroom, no matter where a person is standing in the village. The good thing about that is you are able to see the whole village as you go to the bathroom too! Whenever I go to the village, I thank God for the four walls around the bathroom. As you travel in the villages, you really begin to thank God for the little things in life. However, when we get back home, one of the first things I always want to do is close the door and have some privacy.
