Most foreigners who come to China are initially amazed and disgusted at the state of Chinese bathrooms. Most public toilets (with the exception of upscale buildings/hotels/retaurants) have what we laowais unaffectionately refer to as squatters.

A squatter is - more or less - a porcelin hole in the ground. And many Chinese people actually prefer them, due to the fact that there is 0% ass-to-porcelin contact, thus making them more hygenic. In theory that may be true... as long as you have 100% poop-to-porcelin contact. That is, you gotta have good aim. It seems that many people do not, and that results in some pretty dirty bathrooms. I have some foreign friends who have claimed to have hit "nothing but backboard" on many occasions.

But having seen this video from Japan, I'm inclined to think that no matter how dirty Chinese bathrooms are, I'd still prefer them to this (see video below). Best part is at the end!
