What is the most troublesome, painful, uncomfortable, helpless and embarrassing thing about traveling to Tibet?

Let's guess a mystery: what is the most annoying, painful, uncomfortable, helpless and embarrassing thing that everyone must experience every day when traveling in Tibet? Is it altitude sickness? No! Yes.-Go to the bathroom! Altitude sickness is uncomfortable, painful and troublesome, but it is not something that everyone must experience every day. Some people have no altitude sickness at all; Some people only have altitude sickness in the first few days. Going to the toilet is something that everyone must experience every day. In Tibet, going to the toilet means going to the toilet. There is no need to use such nicknames as "bathroom", "toilet" and "dressing room". Those elegant names have nothing to do with toilets in Tibet. There is a saying when traveling in China: "Get on the bus to sleep, get off the bus to pee". The second part is either "Get off the bus to take pictures" or "Get off the bus to see the temple". If "peeing" is equated with "taking photos" and "visiting temples", it can be seen that "peeing" plays an important role in tourism culture. Traveling in Tibet, going to the toilet is definitely the most annoying, painful, uncomfortable, helpless and embarrassing thing. In Tibet, except the toilets in hotels, the toilets in other tourist attractions are all "dry toilets". The so-called "dry toilet" means washing your hands without water. Only a few pits were dug in the ground, surrounded by bricks, and there was a simple roof on it, which was dirty and smelly, with flies flying around and stinking. Everyone hold their breath when they go in, close their eyes and solve it as quickly as possible, and flee immediately. Here, everyone solves the problem together, and no one can avoid others. Everyone "completes the task" under the anxious eyes of others. In Tibet, as long as you want to solve the problem of excretion, you must go to such a toilet. After coming in, everyone is the same from content to form, and there is no difference. There is no distinction between high and low, so everyone is equal. People who travel frequently know that going to the toilet during travel is a matter that must be taken seriously. The tour bus pulls tourists for hours, and everywhere they go, tourists want to go to the toilet. First, it has been in the car for a long time and must be solved quickly; Second, if it is not solved now, I don't know how long it will take to get to the next scenic spot. If you are in a hurry, you will have to endure it yourself. No one can help you in this matter, and only you can bear the pain. In domestic tourist attractions, queuing to go to the toilet is also a big sight. In the case of internal urgency, "taking photos" and "paying homage" must give way to "peeing". No matter how good the landscape is, priority should be given to solving the problem of "peeing". People with travel experience have another experience, that is, women often occupy men's toilets. The line of ladies is too long, and they are anxious to wait. When they saw that the men's room was empty, someone held the door and the ladies went in to solve it. At this time, if a man wants to go in, he is stopped by the lady at the door and tells him that "there is someone inside", but it is actually "there is a woman inside" At this time, most men are very generous and wait until the lady comes out before going in. I have never seen a person haggle over every ounce at this time. Toilets in tourist attractions in Tibet are all charged, one yuan at a time, and two yuan in some places. Tourists think the charge is too expensive, and the service doesn't match the charge. However, where there is no dispute, everyone honestly queues up to pay in. The toilets in Tibet are expensive and the environment is poor, but it is a "wedding". The most depressing thing is that restaurants and toilets also charge for meals. The toilets in restaurants are generally not connected with restaurants. But go out 20 to 50 meters from the back door of the restaurant. On the way out to the toilet from the back door of the restaurant, there must be an elder sister or aunt sitting there with change in her hand and a bucket on the ground next to her. People who go in, she charges; When people come out, she scoops water with a spoon to wash their hands. Look at the crowd coming in and out, it's money rushing into your arms. Small aqua privies are high-income industries. After coming to Tibet for about ten days, the cost of going to the toilet is about tens of yuan. What about the toilets in the famous Potala Palace? Most people take it for granted that the toilets there should be upscale. After all, this is the seat of the highest authority in Tibet in history. In fact, the toilet in Potala Palace is also a dry toilet, and it is also the toilet with the biggest gap in the world. People stand on the toilet pit and look down. How high! It is about ten meters high. Still so dirty and smelly. Its advantage is that it can be used for a long time without being satisfied-it does not need to be cleaned frequently; The disadvantage is that people who are afraid of heights dare not go up. There is no charge for toilets here. Mr Ye Yonglie has written a book about bathrooms, toilets and toilets all over the world. He is well informed and has been to many bathrooms and toilets. The most interesting thing is that in an airport bathroom somewhere in Europe, he found someone writing an opinion on the wall, and then someone wrote a criticism of the previous person's opinion, and then someone criticized the second person's opinion, as if to say that it is boring for you to criticize others now. Having said that, whoever wants to criticize the third person in the future can't do it, so he falls into the criticism trap set by the third person. Mr. Ye Yonglie found it very interesting and thought it was toilet culture. In the toilet in Tibet, I remembered what he said about toilet culture. But I dare not open my eyes and look at that wall-it's dark and dirty; The nose is afraid to inhale-it stinks; Don't dare to touch your feet-it's not fun to fall-there is no desire to write in the toilet, just want to solve it quickly. It is too extravagant, too cozy and too melodramatic for Mr. Ye Yonglie to study those toilet characters carefully in the bathroom of an airport abroad. What's that mood? If it weren't for the lingering fragrance, beautiful music, bright and clean windows, comfortable and spacious, who would have the leisure to "dance with ink" in the toilet and study the toilet culture? Mr. Ye Yonglie also said in his book that what impressed him most in China was going to the toilet in Xinjiang. Xinjiang is vast and sparsely populated. As soon as the car leaves, it is dozens of miles. There are no people and no toilets along the way. An emergency is often solved in a remote place. He was deeply impressed by the feeling of "peeing" anywhere in the wilderness of nature. When I was in Tibet, I envied Mr. Ye Yonglie. How pleasant it is to be able to "pee" freely in the wilderness of nature without stinking and paying! I said in another blog post that I saw countless military vehicles queuing in Tibet. When the military vehicle stopped to rest, the soldiers might have been anxious and stood on the side of the road with their backs to the road. But when we get to the scenic spot, there is no place to hide. First, all the tourist attractions are crowded with people; Second, there are no trees and flowers on the plateau, and there is not even a shelter. Do you want to "pee" in nature? No way! I don't think Mr. Ye Yonglie had been to Tibet before writing this book. Otherwise, he will definitely write Tibetan toilet culture into this book. In fact, the experience of Tibetan toilets existed long before entering Tibet. It was on the train to Tibet. "This is a magical heavenly road", Han Hong's heavenly voice, in the speaker of the carriage, accompanied us all the way on this "heavenly road". However, this "heaven" should also solve the problem of people eating and drinking Lazarus. Because you walk in the "sky" (Qinghai-Tibet Plateau), you can't throw dirt at any time and place while walking like a train walking in the "underground" (plain), polluting the beautiful scenery in the "sky". This train can only collect all the filth until the terminal in Lhasa. The problem is that the container for collecting dirt is not enough, which makes the toilet on the train overflow. That scene is worse than the dry toilet! Never open the door of the toilet. Dirty and disgusting beyond words. Outside the window, beautiful scenery attracts people-snow-capped mountains, blue sky, white clouds, grasslands, sheep, yaks and occasionally Tibetan antelopes and wild donkeys. The unique scenery of the plateau deeply attracts the passengers in the carriage. However, we don't look back, look inside the car and think about our physical discomfort. We have to lie prone on the window, enjoy the scenery outside and try to forget our troubles. Some people will say that the train is so bad that it is better to fly. Teacher Kong Dong Qing said that when he travels, if he has time, he still likes to take the train, because he can read books by train, so some people praise him for his high level. If this is a high realm, then I have reached a high realm. Ge You Ge is afraid of flying only by train, which has nothing to do with the realm. I'm afraid of the air or smell on the plane. As soon as I smell the plane, I feel sick and often get airsick, so I usually take the train first unless I have to. Traveling to Tibet by train can have a different experience from traveling in the plain. The train gradually rose from low altitude to an altitude of 3000m, 3500m, 4000m, 4500m and nearly 5000m. Looking at the rising scale of the altimeter in the carriage, the scenery outside the window gradually changes, the air pressure is getting lower and lower, and the air is getting thinner and thinner. Some people began to feel chest tightness, breathlessness and dizziness, and some people began to take oxygen. Outside the window, grasslands, beaches, lakes, sheep, yaks, tents, goshawks, Tibetan antelopes and wild donkeys gradually appeared. Whenever these plateau scenes appear, people are full of joy, and people keep taking pictures through the window glass. The train passes through Qinghai Lake, Hoh Xil, Tanggula and Naqu ... Looking at the endless plateau scenery such as snow-capped mountains, blue sky and white clouds, your heart and emotions will be excited and happy with the gallop of the train. These wonderful experiences can't be felt by plane. The scenery in Tibet is beautiful, magical and unforgettable. People in Tibetan areas are still heading for a well-off society, and the shortcomings in development are inevitable. There is no such thing as absolute perfection. However, we should strive to improve and make it perfect, instead of letting defects flood at will.
