I really had my doubts about this post because of the title. But as usual, you had me rolling on the floor and laughing out loud by the end. The people, food and sights sound very exotic and exciting. The guy on the elephant is amazing. What’s he use the beast of burden for? Something like a taxi cab? I can only imagine him picking up his hot date on a Friday night with his sleek and svelte elephant ride. I’m sure that impresses all the girls. “Yup, just got her. She’s got 2,000 pounds of thrust and will go just about anywhere. I get two miles to the bale of hay and she can turn on a dime. Wanna go for a ride?”
The picture of the squat toilet is funny too. It looks like a simple version of the bidet, an invention of French furniture makers in the late 17th or early 18th century. Bidet is a French word for pony (and in Old French, bider meant to trot). This etymology comes from the fact that one bestrides or rides a bidet much like one does a pony. When John and I went to Cancun, we had one in our hotel room bathroom area. We took a picture too.

Peace & Love
