I was really struck by the photo on NG’s site with the food prep right next to the toilet (across from the washing machine.) Not so much by how close the food was to the toilet but that in that cramped space they were preparing REAL food.
It gave me a sense that that person was a fighter and had their dignity in a place that would crush me into giving up. I might just be projecting my thoughts onto someone in a totally different country and culture, but that’s what it made me think.
