Speaking of toilets - how do you handle the European toilets?

[Hawkeye-X]

Do you squat or do you just sit?

1. I don't like to handle them.

Just do what I have to do and leave.

2. You mean the German-style "shelf" toilets?

Same as others. Just close the lid and stand back when you flush. (And I've heard of the tip of using TP to "line" the shelf, just to make sure everything flushes away.)

5. German style

I remove my pants and sit facing the wall.

3. Hrmm...

never had any trouble figuring out a toilet in europe. The ones I saw all seemed like regular toilets to me.

Now Asia...

6. Yes, some toilets in Asia.....

:(

I've seen three of that type in Europe, all in Italy.

4. Fine. They're good for inspecting your internal health.

Plus with that great flushing action there's less skid marks.
This smiley is appropriate:

7. The German shelf toilets didn't bother me too much.

It was weird looking once when I had a case of the rabbit pellets, though.

I encountered squat holes in Saudi Arabia, but I didn't have to use one. The building I was in offered both squat holes and "thrones".
