Kenya and Tanzania -- Oct 2012 -- Part II of III

This is one set of toilets. They had other rest rooms that were somewhat more upscale than this, but not by much.

After I got back to the US, I read an article where the writer speculated that, in a hypotheritcal situation where a choice had to be made between giving up (1) all the advances in phones made after 1980 and (2) our standard pluming fixtures (flush toilets, hot and cold running water, etc.), most Americans would keep the plumbing and give up the phones. Interestingly, however, in many places in the world, people are, in effect, making the opposite choice. They are adopting cell phones and (in efferct) deferring plumbing.
