Medieval Lavs vs Modern Toilets

Pre-reading activity:

Read this first to activate your schemata.

The story begins here:

Last saturday I went to York, an old city in Yorkshire in northen England and I discovered something really really really interesting here:

You'll find yourself are wondering and imagining how creative those people living their life in this earth. Bla3~

Ok... If we are talking about roman bath of course, we can imagine how it looks like. A place with constantly supplied water that required an excellent engineering skills and a fantabulous way of heating up the water. It was done by using a furnace and the hypocaust system carried the heat around the complex. Seriously guys, the engineering was superb. Gile bijak kepala otak romanian nih..

Uncle yg explain tu cakap the underneath floor is hot but the water is cold. So if korang masok dlm tu korang need to wear kind of slippers. Then, ade MASSEUR (kenape perlu huruf besar??) will massage and then rub scented olive oil into your skin. Imagine tak betape indah dan nikmatnya ade org massage badan kite sambil kite berendam-rendam dalam air suam-suam kuku camtu. Ala-ala spa kan.

Why masseur??? Adakah the one who will massage you is a male??? A roman guy??? GOSH!!! Mungkinkah at that particular moment this bath is opened to ladies??? Gile heaven camtu.

Mungkin tidak...

Mungkin ikot jantina not unisex.

Tapi mane laa tahu.

So study laa sendiri pasal Roman baths ni. Available utk golongan wanita ke tak. Haritu tak tanye laa plak kat pakcik tu. Die banyak highlight pasal roman warrior je. Sebab baths dekat tempat tu memang specially for roman warriors yang dah penat berperang. Ibarat macam kedai mamak. Tempat2 lepak sambil borak2 kosong sekali dgn tempat berkumuh.

Itu baru cerite part best and hygiene jek. Jom tengok from another aspect plak.

Anda tahu macam mane this romanian people membuang air besar atau bahase standard nya berak???

Ini saye perkenalkan toilet paper zaman tu:

"They didn't use toilet paper but invented.....The sponge on a stick."

Bulat-bulat okk... siap dgn bulu-bulu sekali... Dah siap gune PASTIKAN basuh so that org lain boley gune plak... huaa3~

Creative kaPLa otak diorang ni.

Ini lah keadaan toilet mereka...

Tersusun elok tanpa sebarang pintu... Rase nak berak, pergi dekat situ and duduk... Cara-caranya same macam berak dekat toilet duduk yg wujud sekarang ni..

The only difference is toilet sekarang boley flash. Toilet yang ini lebih semulajadi. Lepas berak, najis akan teros jatuh 'pelepuppp' ke bawah and teros ke air yg bertakung kat bawah tu. So make sure aim betul-betul supaye tak tersasar.

Then, grab toilet paper di atas tadi and cuci.

And JANGAN lupe basuh semula utk digunakan semula di masa hadapan.

"sometimes they had their own but often had to use the 'communal' one."

Pembersih gile diorang ni....

Another thing, toilet paper tu perlu disimpan dalam bekas yg mengandungi disinfecting vinegar or sour wine. Nak elak jangkitan kununnya.

"They liked to sit together in a row and chat"

Mak selalu pesan, time berak jangan cakap. Tak baik. Kenape tak baik saya pon tataw.

Yang ini tidak. Sambil berak boley plak berborak. Ape yg diborakkan time berak. Mari kite same2 fikir... hahahahah....

Ok, enough about toilet.

'Hygienic' dan menarik bukan....=))
