Toilet


A few of you have asked about the toilets here. Well some are nice...relatively speaking. Some are our typical western style toilet including my apartment, office and more western restaurants or bars.

However much of China still uses the type of toilet you see at the right...a porcelain hole. These bathrooms stink more than you could imagine and just simply are not clean.

The one you see at the right though is in fact a luxurious one! That's because it actually has toilet paper and a bucket of water to "flush" the toilet with! Literally most bathrooms do not come with the toilet paper included so people carry their own.

Hopefully this image gives you a good idea, just be thankful there is no way for me to transmit the smell for you to check out!

that's actually a nice one - be wary of the outhouses at the Great Wall...ooofta!
