The unspeakable. . .Bathroom Talk



















One of the things I was most excited about was testing the myth about toilets. Many people say that toilets in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres flush in the opposite directions. So is it true?

Here's what I've found so far:


Northern Hemisphere:  counterclockwise
Southern Hemisphere:  counterclockwise

Myth busted!

I'm sad to say that they are the same. As simple as it is, it would have been neat confirm such a tale!

Goals!!!




















   I thought it would be a good idea to post some goals I have for my trip.
Some obvious ones:
  • Get the classes I need to take
  • Excel in those classes
  • Improve my Spanish

Travelling:
  • Antarctica - I would love to visit Antarctica!  Friends have told me you can actually go on boat rides where you can jump in the water and swim in the Antarctic Ocean!  Photos to come (here's hoping!)
  • Easter Island - How did they move all those big heads?!
  • Patagonia - I hear it is one of the most beautiful places on Earth.  Can't wait to see it!
Food:
I have heard the food is fantastic!  I want to try anything and everything (well, most everything)!
"Try everything once.  Only repeat what you love."
