Well the best thing to do if you don't wana get ur feet or shoes all icky is to:

1. Bring tissues *leaves are icky and covered in bugs*
2. Find two objects of equal height that you can "position yourself" on shoulderwidth apart.

Then just the things you found will get messy smile Women's survival! woo!!!

Traveling in Europe & Great Britian as a young woman was rather an eye opening experience in the bathroom department....

First there was the differences in TP itself, in some countries it was just like WAX PAPER -- now I ask you, what's up with that? And in other countries it was more like crepe paper. frown Either way, I was glad when my family mailed me a roll of American TP.

Second, there was the unusual style of public facilities. The ones in Florence were the WORST. You paid to get in, and you had to pay because the female attendant guarded the door. So you pay your confusing amount of money to get in the door only to find out it is ONE LARGE ROOM WITH NO DIVIDERS! And, by the way, NO TOILETS, EITHER! eek

Nope. Not a toilet in sight...just holes in the floor in tidy rows, and each hole had two foot-shaped indentations on either side where you were supposed to put your feet so you could squat with all the other squatting women under the watchful eye of the attendant....

Of course, the men had an even more unusual option....the urinals were built in -- right into the sides of buildings -- and again, no walls or screens. You'd just be walking down any old sidewalk and see guys facing the wall. shocked

I didn't say much, considering that some of those urinals (and even the cow troughs in Switzerland) were older than our entire country, but I walked around a bit dazed. Maybe from holding it all over Europe. I decided to wait "til I got home" the following year.... laugh laugh

If I were squatting to "eliminate my waste", I would probably fall in and eliminate myself! laugh

My fiance' was stationed in Germany for a while when he was active in the Air Force. He said it was nothing to see some lady on the side of the road with her dress scooped up to use the bathroom. I believe it would cause a lot of wrecks here in the US with all the rubbernecking we Americans do. wink

ok, gotta comment on this one now...

in the orient, there are two schools of thought.

in the poorer countries it is not uncommon to see anyone just squatting or letting it all hang out. the open sewer troughs are horrible and it just drains in the the local rivers... hence the disease rates in some of the countries.

in the countries that are better off (and the "better off" areas of the poorer countries) there are usually 2 kinds of facilities. the "standard, local" ones - either a hole or a toilet with no seat to squat over and ones labeled "american style facilities (or toilet, or comfort room, or what ever). those have real toilets, toilet seats, and a sign on the door of the stall requesting the locals to "please do not stand on the toilet seat. if you feel the need to squat, please raise the seat"

so, there! laugh laugh laugh

Foreign Countries my foot...I saw a woman walking doen the street in New York and she just stopped (with the red light) and squatted and ..well...trust me, it was GROSS!!! It didn't seem to bother anyone around...EXCEPT ME....I was totally shocked. Now, at deer camp I might expect something of that nature....

Toto's....well, that was just something I had to come up with quick when my oldest was a baby..for some reason he wanted to call it a "pee pee stick" Duh
