Kenyan Bathroom Rating Scale

As you will quickly learn in Africa, there is a broad spectrum of bathroom experiences, and no blog is complete without a picture of a typical "choo." To simplify things, I am working on a numerical scoring system for rating bathrooms.



Toilet (as opposed to hole in the ground) = 2 points
Toilet seat = 2 points
Toilet paper = 2 points
Running water = 2 points
Soap = 2 points

The choo pictured above received a score of 4 points. (Toilet paper + running water)
