For those of you that will be making the trek to Europe, the middle east or Asia, at some point you will come across a hole in the floor that you will stare at with a very odd look on your face...it may look like this:
That boys and girls is where you will go to the bathroom..ya thats right #1 & #2 and the hole you will be throwning up in after a night of partying!!! ( Like me in France). Rest asured its not as easy as you think, you must have balance, aim, and no self respect becuase once you asume the position, its no holds barred...anyone standing outside that door will know what your up too in there.
I came across these "squaty" toilets in France, Italy and in Cuba, although they are not everywhere, they are not un common. My experience in Italy ended up costing me a very large sum of money to go to a fancey resturant to use their bathroom ( of course i had to be a customer)
after a VERY mortifying and tramatic event in a PUBLIC restroom
. Needless to say, the meal at the restaurant sucked, but the "North American" style toilets were worth every penny.
These toilet were the first toilets ever invented, which I have respect for, and some say that this is the way that people are "suppose" to be going to the bathroom, like the cave man, some say this is the reason for high cases fof colon cancer in western socities...but for me, I will take a high back toilet that goes BAAAWOOOSH over a squaty toilet any day of the week.
