Actually, I have to confess that it wasn't till I reached Ethiopia, as a Peace Corps volunteers back in the Pleistocene, that I encountered a bidet in the house that I rented in Addis Ababa. My friends all marveled at the "fountain" in my bathroom. Why we Westerners seem to think cleaning our bodily orifices with toilet paper is hygienic does boggle the more sober mind and is an affront to environmentalists.

Cheerily,
