Toilet paper

I don't think many people would understand the joy I find when I walk into a bathroom and there is toilet paper in every stall! Here in Honduras it more common to find one roll of toilet paper mounted on the wall when you walk into a bathroom, than to find toilet paper in the individual stalls. When you come into a public bathroom you have to look for where the toilet paper is mounted. If you are lucky enough to find toilet paper in the bathroom, you have to grab the "appropriate" amount before proceeding on to use the bathroom. The bathrooms are often dirty and squatting verses sitting is never a bad idea. Also, in Honduras you do not flush your toilet paper, so in the stall there is a large trash can to put the toilet paper. I was ecstatic the other day when I entered a public bathroom and not only found it to be delightfully clean, but found rolls of toilet paper in each stall. I walked out of the bathroom feeling refreshed and cheerful, all on the account of having my very own roll of toilet paper in the stall with me!
