1. What a great way to meet new people
2. Don’t forget No. 1 rule in Asian Toilet : BRING YOUR OWN TOILET PAPER
3. People in China actually prefer this to the sit-down toilets. Think of this, everyone who uses a sit-down toilet has to touch it with their skin, which some people think is unhygienic.
4. I remember my first encounter with a squat toilet in Korea. I ended up having to do this weird inverted crab position because I couldn’t squat without falling over. It was a giant hassle and I never used a squat toilet again.
5. i once dropped my phone down to the squat toilet. other than that it’s said using squat toilet is healthier than reguar toilet
6. I would like to see a real video of someone using this. I was in Thailand and no one taught me how to use the toilet. So I clogged up the thing with toilet paper and I was in there for hours because I was shoving the TP down with a bamboo stick. You grow up real fast in asia.
7. I think the sit-on toilet was designed for the reason that it’s more user-friendly however I do think that some sort of water cleanse is better than toilet paper.
8. In most places in Japan and South Korea, you get those fancy toilets with bidets and heated toilet seats in public restrooms. There are some homes in Asia that have squat toilets too. So if you visit someone in rural China, their house will certainly have a squat toilet.
9. Love your videos. Actually some old Chinese people squat on normal toilet seats. When I lived in Hong Kong, I saw many western style toilets with footprints (!!) on the seats. I don’t even know how they do that. Anyways. Keep up the good work!
10. Just for the record, not all toilets everywhere are squat toilets, it depends on where you are. I have found many places have western style toilets but squat toilets are common. Good tip for bringing toilet paper, but again depending on where you are it may be provided. If I may add, bring hand sanitizer, as hand soap is sometimes not provided either. Good vid though !!!
