Mom send toilet paper!

In Manila they don't really have toilet paper. In some places outside the bathroom (aka Comfort Room aka CR) they have a vending machine where you can buy toilet paper if you have enough money. But everywhere you "go" there are always these things that look like a child's plastic toy cooking pot (called the tabo). While here I've found that these are personal cleaning devices. I thought it was weird that each CR had its own little water spout. Evidently the people of the Philippines use these pots and water spouts as toilet paper to help keep themselves clean. Some of the reasons why they don't have toilet paper is because its too expensive to buy it over and over. Another reason why is because some of their toilets don't really flush. Well, with that said, Mom can you send me some toilet paper...I ran out.
