Friends, family, and colleagues,
These posts titled "Culture shock" will include items that are starkly different from something we would see in the US. While I'm not necessarily shocked by them, I notice that they are very unusual compared to what we would normally see in everyday America. I hope you find these amusing and entertaining.
So, we were in this small village near Hengxi, and I went to use some guy's bathroom and I opened the door to find this. My first thought was, "huh that's a strange urinal". Then I noticed up top, that it had the same dual-flush function as the hotel toilet. It slowly dawned on me that this wasn't just a urinal. I guess you just kind of squat if you have to use it the other way? Needless to say, I wasn't feeling THAT adventurous.

LOL, hence the tread where you would put your feet. Never seen one in real life. Don't slip. Good luck!
ReplyDeletehahaha it's one of the most fabulous creation, it's so clean because you don't have to contact with anything.
ReplyDeleteGood luck practicing Mason LOL
This is so weird in so many ways, but now that I think about it, yes it must be better than a toilet seat. Get adventurous! And please don´t drop your phone
ReplyDeleteIt also explains why so many Chinese try and stand on our western toilets (which no surprise doesn't end well....).
ReplyDeletePS Paper in the basket, not down the hole.
ReplyDeleteThis was also a BYOTP situation. I'd wouldn't want to use one of these after leg day at the gym.
