Toilet in China
Last time one of my clients ask me how is the toilet on the train from Beijing to Lhasa and is it a western style toilet? It is a question and I was wondering whether the toilet is a important factor that will affect my western clients to visit China. After searching many information about the western toilet, I really agree with my clients, I have to let my clients know more about toilet in China.
There is western toilet, so what is the eastern toilet? That is squat toilet. From Childhood, we used the squat toilet which is only a hole and we squat there. For most of the Chinese people, we get used to it. Squating is quite easy for Chinese. But why western foreigners worry about the toilet so much when they travel in China? Just think about that, If you are the first time to use the squat toilet in your life, how can you keep your balance? Squatting is one kind of Chinese Kungfu , it is very difficult to squat rather than sit.
So what is the toilet situation in China? Most of the hotels in China use the modern western toilet in the washroom, so you don't need to worry about the toilet when you stay in China hotels .All the toilet on the plane are western toilet,but this is not really true on the China train. Only the soft-sleeper compartment or the express train may have the western toilet. At the airport or at the garden park, it depends. Some use the western toilet; some use the squat toilet while others use both kinds of toilets. For Chinese people, we don't like to use the western toilet in Public place, we think that the public toilet is dirty and are afraid of infection if buttock touches the toilet.
Oh, Important! Don't forget to bring your own toilet paper if you go to the Public toilet, there is NO free toilet paper available in most of the public toilet. If you forget, hmmm, you know what will happen……
