What else we seeing? We've seen dude shit in a puddle of maggots. There was the better happen situation. So the bathroom situation is as follows: you're not going to find a normal Western toilet in most places here. You're going to find at best a porcelain squat toilet that's basically a hole in the ground. It looks like a urinal that's been put on the floor, and that's what you go to the bathroom on. Everything I need to train my legs. My legs are so much stronger than when I first got here. And that's best case scenario. Worst-case scenario, you're going to end up finding something like a ditch, and then you get to straddle that ditch along with anyone else who might be there. So you might be like, hang out while somebody's smoking in front of you doing the same thing, or you might get the back view, which is arguably worse. And you'll generally find an entire trough full of maggots in that case.
Wait, wait, wait a second. So I would like to mention that the health benefits of squatting is amazing. Like, how about squatting? You got any kids? A lot to be said for her. And listen, no, no, I'm gonna tell a true story. I gotta tell the story. All right, just because listen, I'm not—if you're Chinese and you're watching this story, I'm not trying to bag on the country, dog, because I love this country, it's amazing. But dude, the only thing I will say is that the one situation I had at this bathroom was a little bit different than I've ever had my entire life. And when I went to the bathroom there, there was a trough and the maggots were just invested in the trough, right. And so I'm like, I got it, I gotta drop a number two, like it happens. And so I go to the bathroom, and the drop happens, and the splash comes up and hits me in the ass. It's like maggots and juice coming up on my ass. I mean, it was disturbing.
This has been like 80% of our conversations. It's been difficult. It's been difficult. So the trick is, give you guys a heads up, this is how I handle it. We have our different approaches. Glenna's different approaches work well. So my approach is eat as much fat, good fat, as possible before you go, so you can upregulate things like lipase, so you're able to digest all the oil when you get here. So my stomach's been fine. Now Glen is at a different approach, which worked, I would argue, equally well, which was—let's hear it.
Oh yeah. Now I mean, psyllium seed is something that binds you up. My approach has been just basically Snickers and bread. No, the shits are serious here. It basically have the shits so you have time right here. And I've been having like five pounds of psyllium tablet today, along with Imodium, some herbs, some psyllium, shit that he's giving me, which—it's been difficult. My typical breakfast in the United States is like fresh berries with a little bit of honey over fresh organic yogurt and granola. My breakfast the other night, the other day, was a chicken head with eating its ridges, its faux hawk, its frond. There was a chicken and then there was a duck head later. So I thought they were leading up to like the cat and the dog, and then maybe even human head, but we didn't get that far. It's been tough for me guys. Like I'm sorry.
What? What we hear is Kevin Rose more than anything. Mosquitoes, dude. There's malaria in this area. He laughs, but we're sitting there and the first night we got here there was like 30 skeeters, and I put on my—I have this cool hoodie like mesh net. All right, so let's go. Malaria, love you. You guys laughs. I ain't getting bit. They're all over. Go back to the handprints on the wall back there with the—oh, oh wow, someone got some skeeters on that one. Miscellaneous blood spots that we optimistically assume are from smashing bugs. So check this out. That's—I only now realized that Kevin has disposed of his boxers all on the floor in addition to on the toilet. I'm not sure why it's there like an altar. But I do that toilet paper shop isn't it looks soggy. And I got bit on the ass. If you look like Angelina next morning, I have like Angelina Jolie, very attractive in some circles, but embarrassing nonetheless.
