To start this off, I must dedicate this post to my Woodsie friends, especially Carolyn Ouellet, Danielle Schiewer, Allison Ouellet, and Sara Herbig. My first year of college, there was a certain international student who freaked me out in the communal bathroom on 3 North in Le Fer Hall. One day, I thought I was alone in the two-stall bathroom because I didn't see any feet on the floor. All of a sudden, a pair of legs drop down to the floor. She had been squatting on the toilet! That was my first experience with squatting and toilets - I've had 3 experiences since. :)
My first personal experience with a toilet and squatting was at the hospital when I arrived in Korea. We had to have a "check-up" before we were given our residence cards. Anyway, part of that required a urine sample. I took my cup into the bathroom and found a toilet on the floor. I had done some research before I came to Korea, but had never experienced one before, especially not to pee in a cup.
It's actually not as bad as it seems. It's just a little uncomfortable and takes a little balance, as you can image. Below is a picture of the toilet I've been talking about. I did not take this photo but got it off the internet. These are not very common, as I've only had to use three in the four months I've been here. I just wanted you to be aware. :)
It's as bad if you get one that doesn't have pee all over the floor, and if you don't need to poo!
ReplyDeleteI meant.. It's "not" as bad if you get one that doesn't have pee all over the floor and if you don't need to poop!
ReplyDeleteUhhhh, you definitely have to have good aim and a strong stream or some baby wipes might be necessary, right?
