July 11, 201016 yr Good luck changing a culture with a sign on the wall. . . . especially when it is a culture shared by many other Asian countries.
July 11, 201016 yr Trying to change their culture??? Squatting on a squat toilet is part of their culture, not squatting on a western toilet. Learning the use of use such conveniences is just part of one’s education. I doubt I am the only one who could have used some warning before the first encounter with a bidet.
July 11, 201016 yr The culture is to squat, not to sit on a toilet. This is for hygiene reasons. Do you mean to say that some people use bidets for reasons other than that for which they were intended?
July 11, 201016 yr Do you mean to say that some people use bidets for reasons other than that for which they were intended? I did. I thought it was a water fountain . . .
August 25, 201016 yr I have family members who squatted on Western toilets for years after immigrating to Australia. I suspect some of them still do... I'm used to using squat toilets myself but prefer Western ones, of course (no, I don't squat on them).
August 25, 201016 yr Do you think your toilet habits are of any concern to anyone? LOL Speaking of toilet habits, one I like very much (not only common to Thailand), is the use of water before paper. Now that's a loo habit I gladly adopted

August 25, 201016 yr Do you think your toilet habits are of any concern to anyone? But it does add one post to his contest tally - I guess this one post does the same for me - but I hardly think I am feared competition.
August 26, 201016 yr LOL Speaking of toilet habits, one I like very much (not only common to Thailand), is the use of water before paper. Now that's a loo habit I gladly adopted Hmmm... I always thought it was paper before water. Not the other way around.
August 26, 201016 yr When you shower do you dry off before you take a shower? Seems like another silly comment to add posts to your list.
August 26, 201016 yr I did. I thought it was a water fountain . . . . . . and for a long time I thought it was actually for washing your feet!!
August 26, 201016 yr Hmmm... I always thought it was paper before water. Not the other way around. Well in the countryside, and I assume poorer households in the towns & cities, they don't bother wasting money on luxuries like loo roll.
