How Do You Use A Squat Toilet In China?
The “western” toilet is making inroads into China and in big cities and airports, you’ll find a few of them in the row of toilets in the bathroom. However, there are still lots and lots and lots of squatty potties and likely as not, you’ll venture into one. It’s not as hard as it seems, but it’s good to know what you’re getting into before you go…Difficulty: AverageTime Required: VariableHere’s How: • Pack Tissues. Before you even leave the hotel, make sure you’ve got portable toilet paper with you. Lots of public restrooms don’t provide it. Wet wipes and hand sanitizer are also good to have along as if there’s a sink, there may not be any soap, and probably no towels either. • Plan Your Business 1. “Preventive Peeing” or going before you go is a good way to avoid getting caught in a place that won’t have a nice toilet. (Nice doesn’t necessarily mean Western by the way.) Pretend you’re all five years old and make sure everyone goes before you leave the house. • Plan Your Business 2.
