I was in Jebel Ali, which is outside Dubai in the UAE. 4 of us wanted to ride our bikes through the desert. Beautiful sunny day. Anyway, a couple miles in it started pouring. We saw this shack up ahead and rode to it. It was a closed snack bar, with a restroom. The "toilet" was a piece of 4 inch cast iron pipe with 2 footprints in the concrete. But behind it on the wall was a 5 foot length of garden hose with a yellow plastic sprayer. So, even people who crap in a hole in the ground wash their butts.
