The "Squatty Potty"

While I won’t disgust you with too many details, I will mention that I have not needed any Exlax, Metamucil, or Benifiber while here. Basically everything seems to work as a potent laxative giving me plenty of opportunities to acquaint myself with the “squatty potties” that are oh so popular here. Basically they are porcelain covered holes in the floor that require the user to hike up the pants and skirt from the bottom while also pulling them down from the top to avoid splash and keep them from dragging on the floor (to add to the image, remember that not everyone has perfect aim, so the floor has a pleasant liquid covering as well) then you kind of squat in a ball and try to position yourself over the hole. To add to the joys, there isn’t toilet paper and no one washes their hands so soap is totally out of the questions.
