River of Sh*t: Adam’s Vanguard Update

I'm currently working on a story for the next season of Vanguard about toilets, or the lack thereof, in much of the world. Our journey starts here in India, which has the largest toiletless population. We went on a river ride, which was the most disgusting smell ever. I threw up, and was sick for about 24 hours. Vanguard is Current TV's original documentary series. Led by correspondents Mariana van Zeller, Christof Putzel, Adam Yamaguchi and Kaj Larsen, Vanguard features enterprising reports from around the globe. It airs every Wednesday at 10pm on Current TV. You can view all Vanguard stories by visiting current.com/vanguard. added by: Adam_Yamaguchi
