Sochi twin toilets

[Domeskier]

I have read that in much of China, this is the common toilet you will find.

You'll also have to be very lucky to find any toilet paper in China (or napkins for that matter). I recommend carrying around a pocket full of tissues.

You would think it a common evolutionary human trait across all cultures to want to eliminate the potential for taking a dump on one's own feet.

Actually squatting is a more natural way for us to relieve ourselves:

I've heard that they think the squat is more conducive to clearing oneself out, as opposed to sitting.

I don't know about that though...

Been 15 years since I've been to China but when I went there the toilet was pretty much a hole in a concrete floor (like a drain in a gym shower). The nicer hotels at least gave you a bidet (sp?). It took some getting used to that's for sure.

I went to Thailand last summer and was very happy to find normal toilets in the hotel after coming across some holes in the floor in an airport in Japan! :lol:

When I was on a train in China 15 years ago,the crapper was a hole right on to the tracks.

At my office meeting that I held at lunch today, one of the items that I discussed is the building of a new "staff bathroom" (something my office staff has wanted for a while so its not a foreign concept of bathroom construction talk in my office these days). I showed this picture as I was talking about it, and the look on my staff's face was great! A complete mixture of really? WTF! "Is he serious!" and "I'll just keep using the old, existing bathroom!" :lol:

Here is one similar to one I used in Italy across the street from where Romeo and Juliet went down.How romantic.

A double hopper is looking better than this setup.

They have toilets like this at rest stop on highway in Texas oh the memories.

Up until 2 or 3 years ago MRG still had the trough style urinals. Not exactly fun to whip it out after you just came inside on a cold day.

Shitters with urinal dividers... I'll take it.

If any place could get away with that it was MRG. It adds to the character :lol:

I'm guessing people in SW Asia don't like to put their ass where another persons ass has been? I don't know, I never understood it.

What's so hard to understand?

Have you never been to a gas station bathroom where someone had left some sh!t mark ON the toilet but didn't bother to clean it up? Do you seriously say you want to sit down on it???

It's a lot more sanitary to squat that's for sure.
