Squatty Potty


Ok..here it is the infamous Squatty potty, that they are so proud of in China! This is actually a really nice one as this was in the airport!

We actually saw new ones for sale all over, it is a popular thing. In fact, we are told that the Chinese think squatty potties are more sanitary. Even if a "western toilet" is offered, woman will line up to use the squatty potty while the western toilet sits empty. LOL!

And, yes, it takes technique..one I did not master. But, it appears that the Chinese woman don't really have it down either. Notice the sign, that hangs on the door in front of the potty. Yes, the floor is wet..like really, really wet. YUK! The first time I came out, one of our travel companions pointed out that my pant legs were wet. From then on I rolled them up, before entering the notorious squatty potty stall.

Oh yea, and notice the trash beside, that is toilet paper, as you can't put that in the potty. So much for sanitary. And, if you don't take your own toilet tissue, you are simply out of luck.
