Welcome!

Welcome to our new blog, Realpolihygienic. We believe that by combining a little realpolitik with a little soap and water, the world will be a much nicer place.

WHO ARE WE? Just some overeducated people who have probably spent way too much time in DC. Then we go on holiday to get away from it all, only to find that the rest of the world is just as crazy, only with worse plumbing. In this blog you will find our inspired rantings on the Middle East, international toilet standards, higher education, and anything we happen to stumble across on our travels.

Anyway, once we get it in gear we're sure you'll find this little blog to be a great source of information and amusement. Enjoy!
