Fun.

Also, none of that masculine/feminine crap. Mandarin is very progressive that way.

Taiwan public restrooms were gender non-specific before it was cool.

Obviously, you're out of touch with North Carolina.

And Clark wins the Nostradamus award: Tawain, Taipei mission. Taipei isn't Hong Kong but it's still Chinese speaking (although Mandarin not Cantonese).

Congratulations. I have a nephew from Orem who returned from that mission about 8 months ago. He really enjoyed Tawain and his mission.

Does that thing take 1 and 2?

That looks suspiciously like a latrine I encountered in Indonesia. Except with a butt spray hose accessory. It actually gets the job done legit.

Fortunately, I've only confronted a couple of those squatters in my travels, but I couldn't figure out how to use them efficiently (I realize this may not be the appropriate thread for instruction on this most essential of functions, but where else?). My problem is the balancing act necessary to permit the egress of both 1 and 2, while avoiding the soiling of one's pants and underwear that have been dropped to the ankles to permit the operation. And I guess curling up with a good book or newspaper for the duration isn't going to happen.

Before I ever visit a place that has facilities like that, I will begin wearing kilts the proper way. That is the only way I can imagine not making a mess of the situation.

Eastern system not compatible with your skinny jeans. Sorry.

I saw one of those in Florence, so you might need to pack a kilt to more places than you would have thought.

The Toledo, Spain train station had one of those in 1995. I doubt it does still, but I believe I've shared the story here before about spraying my shit all over a stall.

Tawain, Taipei mission.

Holy f@#$! Sad news out of Taibei today.

FWIW, from my experience violent crime was/is rare in Taiwan.
