Kalaw toilet

If you've visited other travel pages of mine, you will have seen I always take pictures of toilets.

Most of them are inside but this nice example was in the garden of a house.

And yes, I tried it. No, it didn't fall down and I could do what I had to do.

Beneath, the pigs were waiting... for their food. Yum

KALAW

 Kalaw in Shan State is a former colonial British hill station, sits at 1,300 meters elevation offering that way cool temperatures (chilling I would say in the evening)
