Scavenger Hunt Catch-up: Travelling Toilets

Hey ya'll. Here's a picture of an Irish toilet:


This is from my brother and sister-in-law's house in Dublin. It may not look like anything special, but I think this toilet-scape beautifully captures the crisis that a young household faces upon running out of "toilet roll" just days before leaving the country for good. On the one hand, our delicate sensibilities called for more toilet paper, but on the other hand, we couldn't stand making that kind of investment when we'd probably have to leave most our newly-purchased papel hygiénique behind. Solution: random box of weirdly perfumed tissues that would, as my sis-in-law pointed out, "make all our parts smell like flowers."

Fin.

No Reservations: Fieldwork Edition

A scavenger hunt assignment in honor of Caitlin’s travels to India (aka "Eat, Shop, Drink"): Foodie edition.

An invitation to post the meal you find most evocative/emblematic of your field site.

Fear not, there will be more foodie assignments in the coming weeks and months (from typical breakfasts to favorite street foods) -- for the culinary delights of fieldwork are nearly inexhaustible.

Reminder: those of you who have not yet posted for the previous assignment can still get partial credit if you post ASAP ;) In the meantime, we will judge you for your sloth.
