Thanks Gina. That thought has definitely been comforting for me - I'm glad that at least their lives were happy, even if they were short. As for the Thai toilets, the water bucket totally confused me too at first. And I still haven't figured out how to not get the bottom of my pants soaked every time, since the floors in most stalls seem to be constantly wet from people using the buckets sloppily. Ah, the mysteries of Thailand.
