Man -- Me

One of the things you'll notice when coming to senegal is that bathrooms here are very different. For one, there is just one room with no partitions. The shower is simply the showerhead with a drain on the ground. There's only one knob as there is only cold water. the toilets don't have toilet seats much of the time and instead of toilet paper there is a rainbow colored tea pot. the sink spills out water which you cannot drink, but arguably the thing most noticeably missed is the absence of mirrors. not to simply assuage my vanity, not having a mirror has been an interesting experience particularly as I know how i look is changing in this new environment. luckily, friends have cameras and here is a photo of me now. i'm a little dirty, a little hairy, very sweaty, quite tan and simply happy.
