So I gave a health presentation in front of 15 teachers, administrators, health professionals, etc. at my town muni. The meeting went well, teachers asked for my information so I could possibly start nutrition classes in their classrooms and I got word that they wanted me to give the same presentation the next day. Well.... not exactly. I show up with a health educator from my health center and one of my doctors and there are like 500 people here. They are having a food promotion with soy protein, pasta, atol, tomato sauce... and each food was represented by a company. Basically a local NGO put this promotion together and due to free food and a raffle the whole town showed up... well it felt like it to me. On top of that everyone in that room spoke Quiche, so there goes my health presentation. So between the cheesy in-between act fillers (teenage boys lipsynching and dancing terribly to mariachi-type singers decked out in tacky suits and large sombreros) I had to use the bathroom, of course. I had to use the public bathroom in the town market. Pretty much you are guaranteed to leave the bathroom with your pants soaked in pee and crap. Forget the smell. Needless to say that was awesome. I get back to find out the presentation started and my health educator was looking for me.... I felt bad, but it was either cross my legs in pain on stage or sacrafice the health of my feet (I was wearing sandals, go figure) and smelling like pee. Well, the presentation went well but when someone tells you to give the same presentation the next day it could either be 15 people or 500, you never know here.....
