Things we take for granted...

Five minutes ago I had to go into another computer lab to ask one of my a students if she had any toilet paper because I ran out of what I had been carrying for the day. While I'm on the topic of bathrooms... we have "western" toilets in our dorm rooms, however most public toilets are not western. Unlike the students here, we are living in the lap of luxury because we have 1) an elevator in our building; 2) don't have to leave our dorm to shower; 3) we don't have 4 people in one room; and 4) we don't have 8 people sharing 1 toilet. The showers (which are communal) are only available between 3 and 9pm because of the hot water.
