warning-this post is kind of gross and embarrassing

Soooooo... toilets here are really weird. You´re not supposed to put paper in them (which I honestly didn´t figure out for about three weeks. I thought the paper baskets in our school where for the German students), and SOMETIMES they are really hard to flush.

For example, one could be, oh, taking a giant poo. And then flush the toilet. And see that the poo is not going down as it should. And then you go ask your host mom for help, and she explains how it works to you. But you could go upstairs and STILL not be able to figure it out. And then, MAYBE, you would have to go back downstairs AGAIN and ask the host mom for help and tell her that maybe you broke the toilet and then she would go upstairs and show you how you have to pour a bunch of water in at the same time you are flushing, and she is showing you this....... she also sees your poo.

And it´s really really embarrassing.
