In Lithuania, they had squat toilets in the bus stations. There was an old lady sitting at a table outside the washrooms, and it cost 10 cents to get your two squares of toilet paper and go in and use the toilet. The mens washrooms had urinals too, actually - they were a big cattle trough, with a water pipe running across the wall that had nail holes punched in it to provide a rinsing stream of water.
The previous poster who said a squat toilet was better than a poorly kept western toilet was totally right - the only time I was sick to my stomach was paying my 10 cents to take a dump, and finding the toilet piled full of excrement to above the seat.
