The public facilities here are separated by gender with a common washing-up area in between. So far it appears there are many more "squatters" than not, most without "paperwork." In my first day, I managed to use only the so-called "Western toilets," but I don't know how long I can avoid deep-knee bends. The toilet in my hotel room is a "sitter," but it's placed in a glass booth. Uh, what's the point?
Were those squat toilets as fancy as those Japanese ones with a lot of buttons for different functions? In any case, they all bring to the surface some of my "prior experiences" taking me back to the so-called "School to the Countryside" (Escuela al Campo) program and its latrines. Wouldn't mind an improved version of those though, in a nicer type of context...lol!
ReplyDeleteI have the fancy Japanese version here in Taipei, but I'm not pushing any buttons!
ReplyDeleteDon't blame you for that...
