The danger of toilets in Indonesia!

The following post is recommended for mature audiences +18.

Ok… I’m living in Indonesia now, trying to embrace everything, so I’ve gotten used to going to the toilet Indonesian style, using water instead of toilet paper… BUT, I went to Amplaz the day after I got back from Jakarta, wondered around, looking for some sheets n stuff for dad when he gets here.. anyway, after lunch I needed to use the bathroom. 

I went in, there was no toilet paper, quite normal… there’s a little tap on the side of the toilet, when you turn it it sprays water so you get clean that way… well… I turned the tap a little bit…. No water came out… “Oh shit, don't tell me this one is broken” I thought… so I turn it a bit more… I hear water coming out, but no pressure… turn it some more… water is finally coming out, but not enough pressure to actually clean.. so I give the handle three turns… finally there is some pressure..  what I didn’t realize, is there must have been other people using water as well, cleaning themselves or washing their hands….. well.. when they turned of their taps… you can guess what happened to mine…. Yep… all the pressure that they were taking went straight back to mine! the water was SOOO FREAKING strong! I couldn’t turn it off quick enough.. painful! It sprayed that hard that water actually went inside!!!  So I had to go to the toilet again, just to get it out.


I know this is gross.. haha.. dunno why im putting this online for everyone to see… well… maybe you can learn from this, so it doesn’t happen to you…

what's disgusting is not the story but the imagination of the water when coming in to some 'where'..

so anyway you mean you used the water spray tap while standing up? I strongly think we use it while still sitting on the toilet. at least to reduce the chance of wetting up the pants. now that's strangely funny you use it in an unique not-so-quite-inspiring way.. haha

no no.. used it normally... while sitting... just that there was suddenly way too much pressure.. :S
