Lessons Learned From A Squat Toilet

I did it. I finally did it! After nearly 7 weeks I used a squat toilet to do the number two. I had been putting it off for a bit and amazingly the call of nature held at bay nearly every time I was away from home. In fact, now that I think of it, that was the first time I had poo’ed away from my Western toilet having home! Go me. I have to say that it was not half bad! Squatting in that position really aligns your plumbing in a way that things just come out nicely. A quick tip though. Be sure to through your tie around your back least you get it wet while doing what usually accompanies the #2. And it would be quite embarrassing to return to work with a tie wet at the tip. No one will really believe that it fell in the sink because despite China’s lower quality drinking water it is indeed not yellow nor does is smell of pee.
So in conclusion… I did it. And I’ll do it again I’m sure. It wasn’t half bad. Now if China can just start using U-bends in their plumbing like the rest of the western world their bathrooms will not all smell like rank nasty piss. :) Toodles
