Guest lvdkeyes Posted July 11, 2010 Posted July 11, 2010 Good luck changing a culture with a sign on the wall. Quote
Guest fountainhall Posted July 11, 2010 Posted July 11, 2010 Good luck changing a culture with a sign on the wall. . . . especially when it is a culture shared by many other Asian countries. Quote
Guest Geezer Posted July 11, 2010 Posted July 11, 2010 Trying to change their culture??? Squatting on a squat toilet is part of their culture, not squatting on a western toilet. Learning the use of use such conveniences is just part of one’s education. I doubt I am the only one who could have used some warning before the first encounter with a bidet. Quote
Guest lvdkeyes Posted July 11, 2010 Posted July 11, 2010 The culture is to squat, not to sit on a toilet. This is for hygiene reasons. Do you mean to say that some people use bidets for reasons other than that for which they were intended? Quote
Gaybutton Posted July 11, 2010 Posted July 11, 2010 Do you mean to say that some people use bidets for reasons other than that for which they were intended? I did. I thought it was a water fountain . . . Quote
Guest beachlover Posted August 25, 2010 Posted August 25, 2010 I have family members who squatted on Western toilets for years after immigrating to Australia. I suspect some of them still do... I'm used to using squat toilets myself but prefer Western ones, of course (no, I don't squat on them). Quote
Guest lvdkeyes Posted August 25, 2010 Posted August 25, 2010 Do you think your toilet habits are of any concern to anyone? Quote
Guest YardenUK Posted August 25, 2010 Posted August 25, 2010 Do you think your toilet habits are of any concern to anyone? LOL Speaking of toilet habits, one I like very much (not only common to Thailand), is the use of water before paper. Now that's a loo habit I gladly adopted Quote

Guest buckeroo2 Posted August 25, 2010 Posted August 25, 2010 Do you think your toilet habits are of any concern to anyone? But it does add one post to his contest tally - I guess this one post does the same for me - but I hardly think I am feared competition. Quote

Guest lvdkeyes Posted August 26, 2010 Posted August 26, 2010 When you shower do you dry off before you take a shower? Seems like another silly comment to add posts to your list. Quote
Guest fountainhall Posted August 26, 2010 Posted August 26, 2010 I did. I thought it was a water fountain . . . . . . and for a long time I thought it was actually for washing your feet!! Quote
Guest YardenUK Posted August 26, 2010 Posted August 26, 2010 Hmmm... I always thought it was paper before water. Not the other way around. Well in the countryside, and I assume poorer households in the towns & cities, they don't bother wasting money on luxuries like loo roll. Quote
Guest lvdkeyes Posted August 26, 2010 Posted August 26, 2010 The sprayer make for a much cleaner finish than paper. Quote
