[EX]Amazing Toilet Experience

Whew! I just came the rest room with a sigh of relief. I've been bearing the trouble in my stomach since last night but i can't use the toilet because my room mate used the pail to soak his clothes. I woke him up around 7am so that he could finish washing his laundry and so that I could use the bucket.

In our country, a large ratio of the population doesn't use toilet paper. Instead, they use soap and water. So, for places that has water interruption, it's a serious problem.

My room mate started washing his laundry as soon as I woke him up, but only a few minutes later, I rushed up to the toilet without any bucket for water. On the way, I grabbed the tabo(dipper) from where my room mate put it. Without any guns and ammunition aside from a tabo, i faced the a terrible war with my stomach. While holding the dipper, I went through enemy by enemy without holding back. There were explosions everywhere until I reached for the flag of victory.

The tabo saves the day. Thanks to that broken tabo with scotch tape, i managed to win the war in Toilet Republic. Now my room mate have freedom to wash his laundry again.

Room mate to Georel: "Enemy spotted!"

[OP]Amazing Hot Peanuts

I am just wondering why peanuts sold by vendors in our country is always hot. I mean literally hot and not spicy. I usually meet these vendors while riding a bus on the way to my hometown. You can also see most of them in bus terminals.

It's said peanuts are delicious to eat while it's hot. I agree because peanuts will not be crunchy anymore if it's already cold or perhaps old. That's why vendors usually promote their peanuts by saying that it's newly cook and still hot.

Whenever and where ever you meet a peanut vendor, expect that he will say that he's selling newly cook and hot peanuts. They don't mind if it's true or not as long as they can sell. In the costumers' side, they also don't care about what the vendor is saying. It's already very ordinary to hear. And also very ordinary to say for the vendors.

If you want hot peanuts 24 hours, go to the Philippines.
