In reply to Audrey | That Backpacker. @Audrey: One thing Korea is good at is getting us all to carry more TP! I see you're getting the hang of it. Even tho I still shrivel when I see a squatter, I'm sometimes also relieved.

Ha ha! When I was little, squat toilets were quite popular in my country. They are, indeed, more hygienic, however one needs to be careful not to wet his shoes.

Ahh the squat toilet…still can’t figure it out all the time but hey…I do always feel “cleaner” after using it haha! But give me a toilet with fancy buttons and a bidet and dryer any day LOL.

Plus, flies coming OUT of the toilet? I’d have avoided that, too…

Yes! Sometimes the squatter is best! My initial joy at the sight of a Western toilet has often turned to dismay when I got closer….eeeeeek! And I’ve learned to carry TP wherever I ago, because that is rarely ever available!

In reply to Furio. @Furio: Whoa! That is one enlightening look into Chinese toiletry culture shock! Wiping their hands on the walls? But aren't they getting other peoples' poo on their hands too? With all the things I hear about China's toilets, I feel like I have less & less a desire to go.

In reply to debbie ann. @Debbie Ann: I absolutely agree. Many of the things you think about yourself do change when you travel. Sometimes, it pries open the mind.
