And there's nothing like driving that porcelain bus after a night of too much drinkin!

Willy The Londoner:
There are many ways to deal with the squats.  These are often an eye opener for casual visitors because sometimes even the best of homes can have them. An 'eye opener' they may be but usually they are not 'nose closers' although most  westerners think of them as so.

You can go to the nearest department store and invest about £16 or $20 in a portable seat system.  Only thing in it is set chair height up from the squat and 'accidents' can happen.

However I found the easier solution was to have a stool in the bathroom. A plastic stool that is. Cost about 15 rmb.  These come in two sizes, short and chair height.
Use one of the higher ones and place it in front of  the squat.   Remove all loose objects from your pants as wet money is a job to use in shops, better still remove the pants altogether. Stand astride the squattie.  Lower ones body as get it as close to the squattie as possible using the plastic seat in front of you as support.
If more support is needed you can place your chest on the top of the seat.  This way if you have drunk too much then you have less height to full from and in fact you will find that quite a comfortable sleeping place as it is a sort of upright feotal position

Then let nature and gravity and too much spices take its course.    Scottish Rob shouts this out whenever he goes in one ' Welcome to Squatland.'

But he should try to resist singing  'You take the High Stool and I'll Take the Low Stool and I'll be in Squatland before ye'

But in really bad looking and smelling bathrooms he can be forgiven for giving an occasional rendering of 'Squatland the Brave' as he does a kilted entry into the unknown.

Welcome to Willy's Wonderful World of Squattieland.

Normally I'd say..."too much information" but knowing I have two weak knees which doesn't lend itself very well to squatting...I will consider everything!
Question! Are there P-traps on the plumbing to control odors?

Pineau:
Fivetrout.

This is a little standing water in the toilet but it is not always enough to make a good seal. For the sinks and other drains. NOPE !

shaun:
Willy, you really shouldn't pick on Sir Squats a Lot so much.
