What are Indonesian toileting procedures?
In essence water is used instead of paper. The traditional toilet is a squat toilet with a small tub of water and ladle beside it. The ladle is held in the right hand and water is poured into the cupped left hand. The left hand is then used for cleaning. The operation is finished off with a soaping and rinsing. There’ll be further explanation at the orientation before we start cycling. In the meantime you should get VERY used to squating because in many (most) places sit down toilets will not be available. Those who have hip and knee flexibility will find squatting easier than those who don’t.
