AM, If you have not already posted it on Goanet, I would be glad to read your review of the Sita Valles article once again.
An item in the Al Jazeera article sparked a theory in my mind about the toilets of long ago Goa. The article mentioned that Portugal mostly sent their poor and rural people to administer in their colonies. That made a connection with my conversation with an Azores Portuguese lady in Toronto. She mentioned that the pig scavenging toilets were a feature of their island life. Which led me to think: could it be that the poor farmer-type among the colonial Portuguese were the ones who actually introduced the pig toilet to Goa? Bears some looking into. Might even dispel the shame we have of once eating pork from pigs that were sustained on human feces (the not our fault justification). Roland.
