Our family that we stayed with in Antigua was apparently very well off. We had our own wing essentially on the 2nd floor with two bedrooms and a bathroom, living room and terrace. The way it was structured our windows in our room were actually facing the inside of the house and into the hallway which was open to the kitchen below it on the first floor. The bathroom which was right next to all of this had a small uncovered opening in the upper portion of the ceiling. This type of construction is odd but common here.
The first day I hopped into the shower which was up a step. After getting out and standing there in my nudie pants drying off for a minute I caught myself shouting OH MY GOD! because I realized that since I was up a level, any tallish person in the hallway could have stood there and seen my naked ass. Awkward as shit. A couple hours later Whitney experienced the same thing and had pretty much the same reaction...although i think her words were JESUS CHRIST!
So to reinforce the idea of sound enhancing devices, one night we were woken up at about 5am because our roommate, who had been sick for a few days, was dry heaving over the toilet. Although before coming out of your sleepy haze, you could have easily mistaken his location to be right above your face. Apparently our other roommate who sleeps downstairs and in another wing could hear every gag and heave as well thanks to the acoustics.
