Anyways, after coming to live in China I've gotten used to very different standards in terms of public washrooms. I'm happy to accept things that I wouldn't have considered before. I remember when I first arrived in Shanghai to do a homestay and the bathroom in my homestay's apartment wasn't working so I had to go use a public one. I walked in and not only were the toilets all squatters, but the stalls were only about 3&1/2 feet high, had no doors and seemed to be made so that your head would be poking out of the stall into the rest of the bathroom. I had never before thought of a 'public toilet' in such a literal sense.

Christ, I can't wait...
