Squatty Potties
OK. I've had several questions about the squatty potties. A squatty potty is basically a Chinese toilet. Most people there do not use a "Western" toilet, as they call our potties. At least not in a public place. Not sure what they have in their homes. We would go to a nice restaurant and even there, most are squatty potties. There would be maybe 20 stalls, with 2 "Western" toilets. The rest are squatties. We never had to wait for a "Western" toilet, as the people who live there usually prefer not to use them.

Oh my... do you think it helps prevent the spread of germs? You aren't touching anything?
My legs... they are aching just thinking about it. YIKES!!
Yes, Jennifer. I think the avoidance of germs is the main draw. Our guide in Beijing said she prefers the squatty for that very reason. Keep in mind that most Chinese people are smaller and thinner than we are, so this is much simpler for them to accomplish! :)
