sorry, i should have explained what they were. forgot that its not commonly found in the west. its still fairly common in asia. ryka, if you think squatting toilets are hard, in some parts of rural China, the toilet is essentially 1 long drain with a low wall partition. No cubicles, no doors. The flushing is done...periodically... GK, your squatting exercises will come in handy when you visit this part of the world 
no...don't think so. there are shoe prints on the toilet rim! the whole point of squatting on the sitting toilet is to 'avoid' having to sit on the 'dirty' toilet rim...i think...go figure...Macan said:Wtf? I can't believe it. Maybe they will take off their high heels first and then squat on the sitting toilet.
Well, maybe you can try squatting toilets, it'll do wonders on your football skills.Gold Knight said:LoL, I just wikipedia'ed squat toilets. Whoa. Never had to do that, thankfully.
But to answer Brede's question, yes. I did a lot of squats - IN football workouts
You said it Ryk! One time there was this big emergency with me and my friend to do our "Mother Nature" stuff. This squat toilet was our only option. Realizing that pooping in that position is very awkward, there are two sidebars for you to rest your arms upon when you umm.. poop. Well, very uncomfortable, since you're breaking a lot of sweat trying to do it! Hmm... new exercise regimen.rykarreolacr said:I finally understood what a squat toilet is!!!
I had to google it!
WTF??!! You asians are insane!!!!
Taking a dump is about relaxing!!! How can you poop like that? Seems so hard to me!!!
* If one is not balanced properly, or the floor of the toilet is moist, one can easily slip and fall;
* The toilet and the floor around it can be soiled by diarrhea or simply bad aim;
* Problematic for people with osteoarthritis of the knee;
* Splatter on legs and feet;
* Inconvenient when wearing pants that don't slip off over shoes;
* One could get leg cramps;
* If toilet paper is used where there is no flushing system installed, it is easy for the inexperienced user to clog the
toilet. Those unfamiliar with the squat toilet should be sure to ask the location of the flushing bucket before
attempting use. These buckets flush the toilets manually like a tank would.
When we were little and my parents were building our house, my dad set concrete blocks in the woods for us to go in. >.>
Leaves?? I hope they don't use the wrong leaves (poison Ivy, etc). By the way, the public toilets in H.K. are uber digusting. Not only are they dirty and stinky but there is no toilet paper so some people use "newspapers". Umm... I leave that imagination to you!Gold Knight said:
yes i am GK...and I'm proud of itGold Knight said:
go Tanuki! 
what's wrong with leaves? very environmentally friendly you know
High heels+squatting on a sitting toilet= A new method for girls to tone & strengthen their hips, thighs & legs. Wouldn't it be easier to clean the rims with water?Brede said:

Nothing wrong with that. It just that it's uncomfortable to use leaves and you'll never know when something lurks behind the leaves (worms, ants etc)Brede said:what's wrong with leaves? very environmentally friendly you know
. It's much more practical to use toilet paper or newspaper. 
Lol, it wouldn't be public if you had to pay with it. If I have a digital camera I'm going to take a picture of the most disgusting public toilet ever. No modern toilet bowls but an actual canal! So keep your eyes peeled for kunai's updates!Macan said:Is it a free public toilet or a paid one? But then again it couldn't be helped coz HK is a very crowded place and I think there's not enough public toilet there.
