Show OHI Grace Oshita 5 -22-85 s2:9 LK drivem it. But other than that, it was just the clay dirt, bare dirt. And so, when we walkedon it and - in dry weather, it would be like walking in a pan of flour, it was just so - such a powdery dust. And then, when it rained or when± was wet at all, it would just cling to your shoes or boots so that by the time we got to our dsetination, we must have had a two inch thick sole. SO that was the ~pe of soil that was there. It was really a slqppy mess. They did bring in gravel, !guess, to make a walk, between barracks. Sothat we could go to the latrine. And thenesshall,which~ all outside. You seee, apartment didn't mean we had out private bathrooms. IT was one in each block. THe latrine was one latirine for each block. GO Th at's right. LK And the block had about how many people in yourblock. GO [counts] 300 - at most. Maybe it was less than 30"0 per block. LK And theyusedcne toilet area. GO Yes. The first thing that shocked me when !entered the latrine was that it must have been fashioned after an army, you know, rest rooms toilets faciltiies. Because even onthe women's side there were only - there was just low - low partitions - shallow partitions. It was almost like sitting in an arm chair so that you could almost visit with your neighbor while you were sitting. And so, LK It must have been startling. |
