Squat Here!

Oh yeah, I may have forgotten to mention that for the most part everywhere you go there are asian style toilets everywhere. Basically an asian toilet consists of a small raised platform. In the middle of the platform is a small ceramic "hole". Not quite a toilet, not quite a hole. You squat down and do your business. In many places the toilet does not have a flush. You flush the toilet by throwing a small bucketful of water down the toilet. The pressure from the water causes the floating mechanism (usually in the back of a standard toilet) to rise and the toilet to flush. It takes a bit getting used to I guess, but is suprisingly efficient. Here's a similar toilet from China. I would note that none of the toilets I have used have been this clean however. Also this photo shows a flush. Most toilets here do not have that. Usually they have a larg tub of water next to them. Inside the tub of water is a small pail. You use the pail to scoop water out of the tub to pour down the toilet. Tada, you are done! Hope you brought your own toilet paper though!
