Bathroom update
Outhouse with LED light
After going on a quest to see some of the famous monasteries of the Kakheti region in Georgia and the road being impassable with our minivan and the mud on the "highway" going to the area, we went to a lesser known monastery with a better road. At some point, I went to find the toilet that the monks use and to my surprise they had an innovative set up for sanitation and electricity. The little Pepsi bottle cap you see is in fact a LED light with a switch that runs through the other outhouse stall and to some form of electricity source. The bathtub/faucet for washing your hands (not sure if the water was from a well or a overhead container but there was running water) was set up to drain off through a tube which in turn would flush the toilet. This is an excellent example of how to prevent waste of resources but have sanitation of sorts.
