Toilets are hard getting used to

Same problem here in Japan. However, nowadays, it's common to have both western and Japanese toilets wherever you go. Funny thing though, the Japanese tend to prefer the western toilets too. They are the first ones to be used in train stations etc.

Interesting insignts to toilets in China. I know how you feel with legs going numb by squatting over a hole. And you have to be careful your pants don't touch the ground otherwise you never know what filth would stick to them. Trick is to push your full length of pants up under your knees.

Have you come across toilets without doors? Have heard of these type of toilets also in China.
