How To Use A Squat Toilet

Click on a label to read posts from that part of the world.

So I didn't get what the big deal was about "squatting" until I read the read Frank Bures' primer--it's dealing with the Not Using Toilet Paper to wipe up.

Holy Crap! (So to speak).

It's a bit of an adjustment for a westerner to read that wiping up with one's bare hand and washing afterwards, possibly without soap, is the expected practice when defecating in much of the world. The article says it's perfectly hygienic, but, wow.

That would take some getting used to.
