In between. We have some places with toilet paper for the plebs who don't know any better, but we are a bidet country. Part of the proud Bidet Commonwealth. Anybody from the subcontinent with a bum gun would approve.
I haven't seen any toilet pits per se in Portugal, as you find in parts of SE Asia, Africa, or the Czech Republic.
But I will let you in another secret... bidets aside, we have better toilets than the U.S. No, I don't mean the stall door privacy thing, which is legit. I mean toilets that basically don't back up easily, because I am a one-man annihilation machine at times. Two Chipotle burritos and I could take out the average American high school with a biblical flood.
Sure, Donald Trump griped many times that the damn Democratic Congress tied his hands from allowing 15-liter toilet flushes as a government standard. But it's not a question of water volume. The designs just work better here with the same amount of water if not less. I don't get it, but you cannot argue with the results.
You going to Afro Nation Portugal?
Yes, I've done the festival thing here, and even the smaller ones have credit card top-ups on wristbands, etc. So that's likely exactly the setup.
Yeah man, Im going to afro nation! Been dying to go for years, had tickets for same festival and same location 2 years ago, but then corona happened. Using same tickets this time actually.
I been big festival goer for 22 years, my home town in Sweden has annual reggae festival so caught the bug there. Been to music festivals in London, Germany, France, Italy, Spain many times (rototom sunsplash, 8 days of reggae vibes). Mainly reggae/dancehall (reggae music is perfect for live performance, cant say same for some other genres) but also mixed music festivals.
But this is the first time I'm going to a pure African music festival in afro nation. Which is cool, shows how much the music grown in pop culture past years when this is possible. Besides Chris Brown and Megan Stallion, who aren't even the headliners here as they would been in other festivals I been to, all other artists are Africans (and some UK afro artists), and some carribeans. Pretty nice when Burna Boy, Wizkid, Davido, Koffee and so on can carry their own festival.
About the credit tops thing on wrist band, as said been to festivals all over Europe and my overly digitized payment Sweden, and this Portugal festival is first time I hear about wrist band payment. Prett cool.
