ketchup” and then “wow”, but because I
spilled the ketchup during the epiphany I
did not think it made much sense to make a

No really, note here the weak link!
Please, I silently prayed – do not tell
me that the toilet is a shared one down
the hall.
Please, I prayed more fervently, tell me
that this country actually has toilets.
Please, please tell me that there is

I have not noticed where the ‘full’
bathroom is located.
Most frantically I said – this time out
loud – and much more loudly than I
would like to admit. Please, please,
after 24 hours on a plane getting here,
where the hell is the toilet because
frankly I have to pee.
Now.
If all of these pleas make me a snob –
well, so be it.
Okay, I did break down and ask my
neighbor who laughed hysterically
and showed me where the toilet was in
my apartment – which was in, frankly,
what I thought was the coat closet.
