the toilet in some area is really scary…. very hard to survive 🙁

I love this article and video! I lived and taught in S. Korea for a year and half and eventually got used to the squat toilets. My thigh muscles became strong! But nothing prepared me for when I was visiting China and a bad case of diarrhea hit me while we were out shopping. Luckily I survived with my clothing and everything clean and intact. But not to be too gross, I can’t tell you how awful it was trying to maintain the proper position and form while cramping and feeling like I was about to die. Ha ha!

I used them in Japan, because there was NEVER A LINE–everyone would be stacked up, looking uncomfortable and doing “the dance”, and I’d be in and out and done before they even got in to use the sit-downs! Haha!

I had to get really comfortable with these in SE Asia….before that if I found one in Korea I would hold it …hahaha now im squat potty trained. Also, recently I actually watched this video and couldnt help but laugh hysterically at the comments section on youtube….

In reply to EdesYeung EdesYeung. Haha, do they have them in Korea? Your reaction to see the squat with no walls must be hilarious

In reply to Tina Santos. Think it was skirts, so yah I guess they could just easily hike them up out of the way! With shorts/pants it's bunched up around your ankles--much easier to get splashed on, ugh!! (But the FUN of being in Thailand negates squatting toilets anyway!)

In reply to Kelly Johnson. It's hard not to look at the hole.

In reply to EdesYeung EdesYeung. Yup, one of the reasons China initially terrified me... the squat and no walls. ;)

In reply to Ben Ingham. #2 is actually more efficient and easier.
