My proper British mother was visiting us in the Maquiritare village of Toki. After the long flight she needed to use the facilities. Of course, indoor plumbing was only a dream where we lived at the time. I gave her three options for outhouses:
1) A brand new one—that didn't have walls yet.
2) A very old one that was, well, way too full!
3) And the best option was the nice outhouse shown above, fully equipped with a window in the door so you could see if it was in use before barging in!
She opted for the third outhouse with me as the sentry at the door! Which one would you choose?

In the beginning days, I would have chosen the third, but later on, probably which ever was the closest!
