“One thing that China has that China can keep⟳ is its toilets – 'squatty potties' as we so affectionately called them. They are holes in the ground with a place⟳ on each side to put⟳ one's feet. Some of the more elegant ones are porcelain but that doesn't change⟳ what they are.”

“Hole-in-the-floor "squatty-potty" toilets are the rule⟳ rather than the exception in many parts of the world. […] Fortunately, squatty-potties are very sanitary though you'll want⟳ to pack⟳ your own⟳ toilet paper if you'd prefer⟳ not to "wipe" with water.”

“I withheld mentioning that if she used the squatty potty, she'd likely have⟳ to spray her bum with a hose that we call⟳ the "bum gun" or handwash with a bucket of water – both of which accompany⟳ most squatty potties in Asia rather than toilet paper.”
