Today is about "going to the toilet". Believe it or not, it is extremely difficult to do your business here, especially when it is a windy day. You've got to be very quick, otherwise you'll be in a great trouble! In fact, I wasn't taking it seriously at first, but then I realized my hands would be benumbed with cold if I don't hurry it up.

I'll tell you how to do it: First, tear off a few sheets of toilet paper and carefully place them into pockets. Remember you take only what you need for one-time use and make sure that you can get the paper out easily when you pull down your pants. Next, move halfway down the pants zipper to loosen up, and now get ready and dash downwind out of the tent. Once you find a spot, turn upwind and do your business. During all that time, the freezing, merciless wind whips you on your face, hands, and hips.

Lately Ohba-san compliments me saying "You got real quick!" The circumstances made me so. I couldn't help but be quick. I tell you what: I'll pay a few thousands yen per each use if I only could sit on a warm toilet seat!
