If you are disgusted by filthy toilets never ever go to China or you will not survive it
Ditto for Thailand. Muddy footprints on the toilet seats was the least of the problems in some places.
Yuck.
Two Words: Courtesy Flush!
If you’re cuttin’ loose with a stinky one, give a courtesy flush fer cryin’ out loud! That does wonders to keep the odor down.
As far as shitting at work… I make it a point to ALWAYS shit on company time! Ahh yes, it was really nice when I worked in a hi-rise in Atlanta. I would always go to a different floor of the building to evacuate my bowels.
My award for the best toilet video movie? Watch Trainspotting. After that every bathroom in the world will seem like a palace.
:wally
Haha! I’ve got some amazing toilet stories from China. NOTHING I’ve seen in north america, or any of the asian countries I’ve been in, can match them. Here’s a quickie:
Imagine… Two slabs of concrete set just far enough apart that you can comfortibly squat over the hole inbetween. The said hole is about half full with <ahem> waste. The waste is covered with maggots, and the said maggots have somehow managed to crawl OUT of the hole and on to the walls of the building. Now imagine lots of these “toilets” in a row with no walls or doors between or infront of the toilets and very long lineups. Of course, as someone who is not asian, I also got a good stare by several hundred people (no kidding… this was in a bus depot where there were 40+ busses in at any one time) throughout any procedures I cared to undertake.
And that’s just the beginning.
woohoo
cool experience though.
