You guys would not believe what just happened to me.
This dingy motel that I'm staying at...last time, I had a toilet that would not flushproperly when I was here in June.
I dreaded that same problem this time around. It was the opposite this time, the toilet just kept flushing and flushing. Thanks to my MacGyer-esque memory, I open the tank and unstrangle the chain that is linked to the plastic covering. This closes the tank and stops the flushing.
Anyways, same thing, the toilet wouldn't stop flushing for the umpteenth time so I open the tank only to have it explode on me! Gushing water everywhere, smacking me in the face, overflowing to the floor quicker than lightning.
I gathered my wits and gritted my teeth for who knows what kind of water that is coursing through the discolored questionable toilet tank, and slammed the lid shut while unhooking the chain inside with a no-looker.
I slammed the lid down as soon as possible as well. Water all over the bathroom floor and me ready to bolt. Called the lobby and asked for a new room as well as the plumber.
Turned out that the hose had become disconnected so that is why the water was gushing out like Old Faithful. *sigh*
I packed my stuff and was ready to crash at a new church acquaintance' s place. This was no time for a girl to be alone.
Well, I'm blogging now, which means, I have calmed down after this 'disgusting' assault on my face. I've also got too much crap (suitcases) to move so hastily to a new room. Will just wait for the bathroom to air-dry and hack it til the weekend til i stay with any acquaintance.
How crap-py. I feel so gross. Haven't felt clean since last Wed, when I had my last good shower at home.
Grace to you, Vien

Oh, man! I just can't believe your horrible luck. All before you've even had a chance to settle in yet. And talk about worst case scenario - we all know how neurotic you and your sisters can be about bathrooms.
But hey, it can only get better from here :)
Actually, these are interesting experiences and the types of stories that will make you laugh in a few years' time. Sort of like how one of the girls in HK stepped into her slippers only to find a cockroach had nestled in there. Or how I had to use the grossest dirtiest MTR squattie pottie when I had newcomers' diahrrea in HK. These are the situations that make for character-building, so although I am grossed out on your behalf, I am also encouraged to see that you will grow stronger and more resilient as a result of stuff like this. =)
Keep hangin' in there Viener. Things will look up for sure, if you look up too!
Oh no Vien
Wow, I'm surprised you even would go in and fix the darn toliet. That is really crappy. I really hope things start looking up for you.
But I agree with Mrs.Loquacious, this will all be very funny stories many years from now. Remember to bring them up so that I can have a great chuckle.
