Still shocked after over a year

The Spanish Embassy is putting on a conference for teachers of Spanish as a foreign language; today my two colleagues and I jumped in a taxi and headed downtown to Chachenkco University to take part.  The conference has been great.  But what I can't get over is the facility.   On our breaks we walked around in search of coffee and a potty (I honestly only used the latter because it rhymed.)  What I noticed were that there are the same cliques as in any school.  My favorites of the day were the green and black weave braids near the coffee machine and the Metallica shirt red streaked hair girl who let us have her table.  It wasn't the impressive vaulted ceilings, the hallway that appeared to be filled with smoke (which wouldn't surprise me), the worn imprinted concrete stairs, or even the coat deposit, it was the bathroom is what blew me away.  Yep that's right, one bathroom for three floors, squat-over-a-hole toilets, no toilet paper, no paper towels...and we thought one-ply paper was bad.
