The Sulabh International Museum of Toilets

March 10 - The most interesting museum that we visited in Delhi (and India for that matter) was the Sulabh International Museum of Toilets. This very small museum was actually extremely interesting and informative. We were given a tour by the museum's Vice President and then got a tour of Sulabh's products by one of their engineers. The Sulabh International Social Service Organisation is a non-profit organization in India that is obviously involved in sanitation and has built public lavatories throughout India. They are an institution in India to the point where, as we say that we are going to the crapper (named after Thomas Crapper who invented toilets as we know them), in India they say they are going to the Sulabh. Here's the thing that I learned that will be the most useful. Hold out your hand and using a pointy object (like a pen), dot the surface of your hand in a counter clockwise circle starting from just below your middle fingers. This will eliminate the need to go to the bathroom, if you feel the urge. Going in in a clockwise direction will solve constipation.
