A Few Unexpected Experiences in Beijing

The hardest thing about using the hole in the ground toilets is trying to
concentrate on dropping your turd while at the same time worrying about
the
creatures crawling out of the hole and up your ass. Depending on what
country you're in it can be anything from bugs and scorpions to rats and
snakes.

I guess I have been spoiled by the "benjo" toilets in Japan, which are at
least clean. Takes a bit of practice to get the old Norden Bombsight lined
up, but once you do, you can appreciate how Asians are so adept at squatting
for extended periods of time...

Those primitive people in china still have not discovered flush toilets

When they discovered them at the Silicon Valley plant I used to work at, the
facilities staff had their hands full providing "toilet training" to grown
adults. Seems they would climb up on the seats and place their feet on
either the (a) seat or (b) the rim of the bowl with the seat up. Some of the
more adventurous ones gave up squatting and would stand up, hanging on to
the top edge of the stalls with their hands while surveying the landscape
around then. You would go into the men's room, and see a bunch of Chinese
guys heads above the stalls, then hear these "splot" noises as they hit
their target (or "plop" if they missed). We had more than one broken ankle
when they slipped and caught their feet in the bowl. The company finally had
to provide formal training on how to use the bathroom, complete with
pictures and instructions written in Mandarin... :O|

Are those benjo toilets the fancy-ass toilets with the heated seats
and the water spritzer for cleaning off the dingleberries really good?
Wish they'd bring them to America already. We think we got the best
of everything but the Japanese have us beat in the ****ting
department.

One thing that really impressed me in Japan was the toilet design
where there is a tap and sink above the cistern which refills it. You
flush, and the fresh water flows in. That is where you wash your
hands. A great idea that should be in place everywhere with water (and
hygiene) problems.

The correct term for those is a "toi-re" :Oo

The heated seats save sure saved the cheek flesh on more than one cold
night...
