A Non-western bathroom

Ever seen a non-western bathroom? Many if not most places in the world use a hole in the floor. It requires squatting, and you have to bunch up your pants around your knees to prevent it from touching the floor or getting splattered. Tricky!

Example:

Chinese bathroom

This picture shows a bathroom in a middle-class apartment in China.  The hose on the right is part of a detachable shower handle.   There is a folded chair on the left that can be used to sit instead of squatting.
