"me pretending this bush is a perfectly acceptable restroom"
in the middle of the journey toward the eastern side of the island, i had to take a desperate piss break by the roadside. i swear i don’t do this often, maybe never actually. it was an emergency because i was starting to feel sick from holding it in for so long. and obviously, there hadn’t been any rest areas for the past couple of kilometers. i was heading toward the tip of the island, and the farther east i went, the fewer human-made structures available (i'm assuming). i was fine when it came to food since i packed some specifically for this trip, and fuel wasn’t an issue either because i had already filled up in Amlapura, the easternmost city. but relieving myself? i just had to trust nature to handle that. it was also strangely hot there even though i was at a higher altitude. i honestly don’t know why.
