Bathrooms in Bahrain...

In the Middle East much like in other parts of the world, there is a firm belief that toilet paper is a western idea. Instead, most locals use what is called a bade (baa day) instead of toilet paper. A bade is a toilet looking contraption with water squirting out the back where you squat over it and clean yourself. Personally, I have tried this and can’t seem to get the ‘stance’ right without getting myself soaked in the process. Most public bathrooms have a small shower hose looking thing that does the same job as the bade. Regardless, I think I’ll stick to toilet paper.
