In Pemba, its all about quality...

One suprise we had waiting for us when we got back from the states were new toilet seats! Sounds exciting, yes?

The ones that were in the house when we moved in were cheap, thin, broken, plastic toilet seats that didn't even match the shape of the toilet bowl.
Jacques, one of Alan's friends and the construction manager working on the house said that he'd get proper toilet seats for us; quality wooden ones.

And here they are...

When we arrived we thought, surely this is a joke, since Jacques and Alan are really good friends...

But since then we've realized it wasn't a joke, as they seem to be the only wooden toilet seats one can buy around here. Had we known while we were in the states I could have bought some shower curtains to go with them, because they are here to stay! We have two of the gymnastic goldfish seats and one of the water tornado seats--aren't you jealous?

But wait, there's more: Two of the three are already broken!
