Its for cleaning the toilet and for having a shower. Unless you don't have a bog brush or a shower head you shouldn't need one.

[Steve.r]

I used it to cool my feet down

I must admit Steve, I have asked myself the same question

[stevewool]

my feet would not fit in the bucket size 12, you see we all think something but hope someone else says it

[Steve.r]

Of course Steve, if you are a dab hand at simple plumbing, you could install a tap on a hose, no need for a bucket then, I may do that.

[stevewool]

well i think i will wait a while , well at least tilli have a inside loo

I take it you mean a scoop, I would be worried if there was a scope
Did you also notice that there was probably no toilet paper they follow the same customs as a lot Asia, unfortunately there never seems to be any soap around as well

[stevewool]

there was a scoop and yep no soap too in some places, but it was a talking point and we laughed

[KeithD]

I had to go the hospital as I got the sccop stuck

[stevewool]

well you should have scrape not poked

[Gavanddal]

Using the scoop to flush makes you realise how little water you can use to flush the toilet. Bearing in mind we waste 2 gallons every time we flush over here.

Which is why we only flush once a week... although it does take a bit of stamping to get rid of it all....

[Steve.r]

Whish is why we only flush once a week... although it does take a bit of stamping to get rid of it all....

If the stamping fails to push it through, disconnect from the other side of the 'u' bend and suck

[sparky]

for those of us that are regular visitors or expats to asia the hose/scoop is far more hygienic than just paper

[Steve.r]

Sparky, you are right, I think I even prefer it

Sparky, you are right, I think I even prefer it

Just dont forget to eat your rice with your left hand.

[Les_lady888]

A drink from the bucket inside the toilet?? My first reaction was YAiiiks!!! imagining of course the filthy toilets in local cafeterias!......but on second thoughts if you're in a 5-star hotel bathroom/toilet then I wud say it won't be that bad after all.

[marlyn&kenny]

steeve, u made me smile thanks lol! (coz u know we are anxious waiting for my visa, it will be 1 month few days from now and no news yet )


Didn't u ask emma what are those for?

[IainBusby]

or a bidet if u can have it installed..

Yea get a bidet installed, that would make her very happy...... and if you get it installed right next to the bog you can wash your feet while your having a crap.

I just crap in the jacuzzi.... it soon breaks down

[Steve.r]

I just crap in the jacuzzi.... it soon breaks down

Hmmmm.......Reminds me of a case of diarrhea I had while snorkling in the red sea once

[gWaPito]

Steve, do your pot pot stuff while at home and making sure that when you do find some soap make sure it is in the different hand that you use to wash your bum with.
I didn't know this
When Jane went to use the shower (bucket of water with scoop and bloody cold water!!) she thought the soap I brought with me from the UK had grits in to clean the skin how wrong was she, in fact the family had been using it as well, thinking the same, a new idea from the UK

Needless to say, Jane was not impressed when see watched me do my thing on the toilet while sharing the same bar of soap

Jane does it the western way here, Steve. Always have from day one
No scoops, no buckets
Thank goodness

[stevewool]

wow steve, its great you can spell dire ear, i bet you had a great school of fish following you and eating the tiny morsels leaking from your pants

[stevewool]

that made me laugh gritty soap and emma said the same once seeing what i can do with the soap, great

[gWaPito]

I just crap in the jacuzzi.... it soon breaks down

Failing that breaking it down, I always find having a big wooden stick comes in handy

[Steve.r]

wow steve, its great you can spell dire ear, i bet you had a great school of fish following you and eating the tiny morsels leaking from your pants

OMG, can you just imagine it
The worst thing was that the current was pushing it around a large coral head, and right into the path of a guy I was with......... I never told him that he had swam through a cloud of my do-doos Didn't like him that much anyway

[stevewool]

well the fish ate well that day steve, and gwap that stick is called the scope to go with my bucket
