reviving an old thread

i grew up in tokyo. This was all i knew for many years lol.
by the time i went to turkey, and saw they had them, too
(although certainly not anywhere near as clean as the ones
in Japan) i just said, "oh, okay" LOL
Jinn.. where did get this from?? terrible..terrible.,
But now I realize disposing human waste products from every part of the body including brain is such an important subject., I am glad you revived it. So let me learn something from readers..
I'm in Japan.
In our house we have a squatting loo... and a long drop.
So David., I have a very good friend in Japan., He is international character grew up in Peru spent time in US of A and Canada ..Now he moved to Japan ., That guy showed me a Japanese book.. very ooold one,.... I think 1950s and that book was full of different deigns of toilets.
All over the world proper toilet design is terribly important specially for the old folks .. So let us put some toilet deigns/pictures from all over the world r in this thread.. We may learn something instead of using Bricks and stones.
not that there is anything wrong with that.. but we have to move on..
