Vietnamese Plumbing

We were introduced to the intracacies of Vietnamese plumbing in our first few days in the Hotel. One of the children, not mentioning Bella's name of course, came out of the bathroom and said that the toilet wouldn't flush, she had over used toilet paper but in her defence she said "It's better to be safe then sorry" and she does have a point there, in respect to the toilet paper. Anyway we then had a toilet that didn't flush, not a pretty sight or smell in a shared bathroom. At least we had Zander and Kaela's bathroom. The following morning we explained, in somewhat broken English that we had a toilet that didn't flush. Later that morning a housemaid came up with nothing more then her walkie talkie, she went into the bathroom closed the door, then came out a few minutes later and said "fixed" or something like that! We are all still perplexed - how on earth did she clear such a huge blockage with nothing but a walkie talkie.

So there you go when you next have a blocked toilet just talk to the toilet with your walkie talkie and the problem is fixed.
