We have 2 1/2 bathrooms in our 2 bedroom apartment. There are no light switches inside of the bathrooms...they are all outside of the door. This takes some getting used to, particularly early in the morning when I'm fumbling around.
The light switches in the apartment look like this:
Which also takes some getting used to! The switch on the left is in the "on" position, and the other two are "off". There are tiny lights that you can see if it's dark and the light switch is off.

Right next to the toilet! According to numerous Internet articles, in particular A Girl's Guide to Being Muslim, cleaning after using the toilet is a religious expectation in the Islamic faith. It must only be done with the left hand, and using a water sprayer is necessary to be "clean." Being physically clean is the same as being spiritually clean in this case. We just sort of ignore the sprayer and hope that we don't find Colin playing with it.
We also keep a lock on the toilet since his little frog Buddy has a tendency to jump in there to swim.

There are no outlets in the bathrooms, either, except for this low voltage socket for electric razors. I have to drag a surge protector into the bathroom to blow dry my hair since there are no other mirrors in the apartment.
Here's the tub...pretty standard, really, and littered with Colin's bath toys. All of the tile in the apartment has these nice brownish-orange accent tiles.
Our bathroom is pretty much the same as Colin's except we have a navy blue shower curtain and less cabinet space. The third 1/2 bathroom has been converted into a storage room :)

The "personal" left hand was a emphasized in Morocco too.
ReplyDeleteNow, imagine being a left-handed person. Ok, now think about being a left-handed person eating with your homestay family out of communal couscous bowl.
Yeah, I used my right hand and ended up with couscous up my nose. Not kidding.
We have the exact same sprayer!! Except, I bought it off of E-bay and Jeff installed it... We use it to rinse Eli's cloth diapers before we wash them. Too funny!
