Dear Readers, this will the first of a series of articles covering my October-November trip to Nepal.
So let us end 2017 with a blast (sorry I could not resist). Toilets or loos in rural Nepal are still a bit rough. But in the countryside, the buildings in which they are situated are often rather colorful. I should have photographed more of these little buildings, but there were so many interesting sights, I could not photograph everything. I can save this theme for my next trip (toilets of the world; outhouses of the world....).

Older toilet house at Takgon Sheddrub Tharling Monastery School, near Ringmu, Solu Khumbu region, Nepal. An aide group recently built a modern toilet and shower facility nearby. |

Shower and toilet facility at Numbur View Cheese Factory Lodge and Restaurant, Ringmu, Nepal. |

Room with a view, as long as you are facing the squatty potty. Chiwong Monastery, Chiwangteng, Solu Khumbu district, Nepal. |

Hanging around in Junbesi: ready for scrubbing. |
The first two photographs were taken with a Yashica Electro 35CC camera on Kodak Ektar 100 film. The squatty is from a Nexus phone.
Standby for upcoming Nepal articles in 2018. Thank you, Readers.
