I've encountered something like that as a kid a few times back when I was still in K.S.A (I'm in PH now). I've always hated that and refused to use it (although I don't remember if I did end up using one 'coz it was like 10 or so years ago). LOL! XD
I just hope that they don't do urinal pooping like some people do in America. It's not common, but there are urinal poopers here. They are rather infamous. And I have heard about the squat toilets in Japan. Apparently, you get a little set of plastic slippers to put on when you do your business. It just seems like it would be tiring. Like, what if you took a while? You could fall in?
@animegoddess1991 Do you know that Christianity is correct? The world around us reveals that G-d DOES exist, and the historical evidence reveals that Jesus Christ really did come to this earth and there is overwhelming evidence that Jesus Christ really did physically rise from the dead. Jesus is coming again and the signs of the end times that were foretold in the Bible are coming to pass.
@RK831 I was in Chicago at their O'hare Airport once... their toilets have sanitary covers that replace themselves a lot like the automatic flushing toilets.
LOL. They have these toilets in Sri Lanka too! I was totally suprised when I saw it in SL, so I send a picture to my cousin in The Netherlands and she was like 'WHATTE.. HOW DO YOU SIT ON THAT O.o' hahaha XD
In Iran these squatting toilets are also used!!! We also have a hose to wash off... things... with water instead of toilet paper to wipe off clean. I guess this is pretty common in Asia! =O
That's like an old toilet. Ages ago, people didn't have toilets so they went outside. And of course you'd squat down to go number#2. I think Korea has more toilets that are western style now.
kukukuku, when I went to Korea with my family two years ago, I saw a toilet like that. I kind of had to go, and we were at this restaurant. I never used this type of toilet in my life, and my parents told me it was good to use that sort of a toilet when you have constipation. '-'... I tried it out eventually. The common looking toilet that had no wall, that's weird. Koreans, also like westerners
@InfinteSky Not sure they are fully like Westerners. I
In Los Angeles we have the K spa as in Korean.
Not your usual spa day.
You get a key and a towel you are told to strip and walk to the pools. Among 50 other ladies. You get into Mogwart pools just below boiling temp, then clay saunas and cold pools you cycle through them naked. If you try and wear a bathing suit they kick you out. The ladies that work there are in bras and panties. Mind you half the customers are over 50,
i remember using one in japan TTATT i accidentally stepped in it and had to throw my shoes away. poor sitty toilet D: all the squatty toilets get walls. this is toilet discrimination! sitty toilet, u should file a complaint to the department of toilet rights
What i have noticed with most Asian people is that when they crouch down, like when their knees are bent ( i hope you know what im trying to describe here lol), both their feet are planted on the ground. And i know when i do that im usually on the balls of my feet and very unbalanced so this kind of toilet might feel really natural to them cause when they get in that position, they for some reason always have both feet completely flat on the ground. Its so hard for me to do that lol...
@dissassin oh yea!! i've heard of those stories from my korean friend when we were having a sleepover XD i forgot which one i chose but i died because i don't have any toilet papers to return D=
many toilets in taiwan are also like this, and wats interesting is when it was optional to choose the toilet we usually use or...that kind...i heard a mother telling her kid, "go to that (squatting) one! This (normal) one is dirty!!!" O.O
@ellsuju13 yea bcuz everybody touches it with their bumbums ppl tend to think it's dirtier. But from what I read, you contract diseases easier from the squatting ones. But apparently the squatting position is better for doing what you do there :P
u press the metal thingie to flush it(like every other toilets). these style of toilets r pretty old and theyr slowly dissapearing since ppl prefer the sitting ones. and im sure the door was broken and so they just took it away. bad maintanance i guess.
LMFAO..... oh god.... yeah when i went to china and went to the bathroom for the first time... T_T i was like 6? tried squatting... but ended up like peeing ON my pants.............
When I first saw this, I was like, "Oh, Korean washrooms? Interesting..." Then I saw the toilet and to be honest, I wasn't surprised. I was like, "Oh, damn. It's China all over again." Those toilets are so bothersome to use. If you don't squat properly and you can't aim your pee, then it runs down your leg and pants.
i would guess that with the toilet on the floor, perhaps after using, you fill the bucket with water and toss it in to make it flush... most westerners would not be used to the type of squatting involved... and perhaps the western style toilet is meant for wheel chair accessibility? maybe they couldn't out how to fit a door on that would open & close and allow wheel chair access?? still, who would want to use that without privacy. maybe it simply exists to humiliate foreigners!
haha ive always preferred squat toilets. Idk why everyone likes using the seat toilets.....i mean like in public or in sch, maybe im just weird. The toilet seats are actually....really dirty. haha using squat toilets, ive never had to sit on the toilet seats. maybe im just weird (: even if i go to seat toilets i still use the good old traditional invisible seat method. this is such an awkward topic o.o
i think becoz (well in china we have that too... but because i a ABC, when i got back its extremely inaquate to use) it's slightly more hygiene than the toilets we have in canada (or it seems)
my cousin once pooped her diarrhea of her foot because of false calculation XD
but Simon, over here(Mexico, i'm not sure if it's in all schools, but just the few elementaryies i've visited there's some like this) in some schools there's no doors to use the toilets either! D:
Man, this paints a bad image for Korea... That was way before in time... Nowadays, people come from other countries to try and copy Korean bathroom style and conditioning, as it is so modern and clean. We have motion sensor flushing toilets, with even cleaning/drying (for your butt) machines in some places.
i had to use those when i went sightseeing around china, i hated them, no toliet paper and i almost slipped using one because there was pee around it ughhhh...
In China they don't look like that although it's on the ground. It's like a toilet seat implanted onto the floor, literally. So yeah, it was difficult for me to get used to. Can't enjoy taking my dump :(
I went to korea once and i needed the bathroom sooo badly at some kind of shopping mall place. i went in and first, it stinked so badly T-T and then i opened the door and GAHHH theres no toilet paper. Its outside and we need to bring however much we need inside. And the toilet was like the one in the video. I was like...wth? lol but its not like that in all palces lol just some.
they have those in japan too :/ there'll be like 5 of those squatty potties & only 1 "western" toilet in a school bathroom so everyone always line up to use that one! but of course there's western toilets & those that heat up in more public areas (:
Squatty potties! I went to China, and when my sister refused to go on a quatty potty. We had to use the tour guide's toilet in her apartment after tearing through the whole city in search of a Western toilet.
i was wondering about the one w/o door or walls covering it. well if you have a walls then its probably alright. and yeah at any country some of things that you are not used to see you will probably see. Well for me as long as its convenient for you then its okay. you don't wanna end up in hospital later. XD lol
We have tilets like that in India too...though most homes and some public places like airports and stuff have western toilets too, that ARE inside stalls. So you don't have to poo in font of everyone. XP
Korea and japan both have those kind of toilets because korea has been colonized by japan for several centaries. And yes, how i know this is because I'm an awesome korean-American ;)
hhhmmm, this is a bit scary...first of all, what about not having good balance, and second, what about being totally bad at aiming? those two could be a nightmare...especially if you're sleepy or drunk O____o
I think that open air toilet is for handicapped students. Usually there is a door for the handicapped commode just like the other stalls. Only difference is wider space. Maybe the school could not put one up due to design of the bathroom. Handicapped use toilets have been added to existing bathrooms in an attempt to a"commodate" folks in wheelchairs, etc. Actually it may even be a law governing public institutions now. It is unusual to see such a "lone toilet" ..just FYI, thx!!
I was eating. Was. Okay. I like food to much to stop. But they have these "ground" toilets in France too.. (Not everywhere, but they can be found around somewhere)
They had those at my host families house in Japan but luckily it was raised above ground level so I just sat on it :P Those toilets are sooo difficult to use
ahahahhaha we have that kinda toilets too :D it's common in Asia i think :D just squat over it and do ur business while ur ass freezes :D ours r bigger in fact they have a place on either side to put ur foot :D ahahhaha that lonely open toilet is so freaky :D did u ever seen someone pooping on it? :D
God if its a hygiene issue then lay down a toilet paper bed before you sit! As a female I cant imagine having to squat like that especially during a certain week each month--what a nightmare!!
@gonnabedess My remark about hygiene was towards the people justifying a toilet in the ground as more clean or better than sitting on a toilet like we do in westernized countries. And CLEARLY you are not a female because if you were and were experiencing scathing cramps the last thing you'd suggest is having a nice little squat over the hole in the ground. I consider a sitting toilet to be a welcome luxury and a personal must.
you squat over it and do your business. It's actually more hygienic because your butt won't be touching the toilet seat and it even works your thigh muscles! Hahahaha! Us asians are so used to these toilets that sitting on a toilet seat (western type) is very awkward and considered dirty.
im not sure whats wrong with this bathroom because, although the squat toilets are pretty common at schools, the door/wall-less toilets are something ive never seen in korea.. and i lived there for ten years.
wow that solo open toilet looks freaky but the rest with doors are quite normal. you just squat, that way its cleaner cause you dont sit down and touch anything like that.
here in dubai, there are some of those kinds of toilets too.. here, its called "asian type toilet". i kept asking how is this asian? we dont have this back in PH? after seeing this, now i understand.. x)
Omfg I came across that kind of toilet when I was at a restaurant with my family in Korea and when I came out I'm like "...I don't know how to crap on this thing." and my cousin replied "ya squat and piss."
@kyokawaii93 To go down that dirty path with you: no it's actually easier to shit than when sitting on a toilet. By the way, Simon is getting it backwards. The hole in the ground as a toilet is the traditional way, even in the west. You have those in Spain too at certain filling stations. They look different but it's the same concept.
retard -___- if there's a toilet on the floor, it's obvious that you're supposed to pee/poo into the hole, whether you wanna try that standing up or squatting down
lol when i went to school in korea, the toilets that you sit on were for the handicapped. im pretty sure when i went there, there was a stall....but i guess it depends. but anyway for the boys bathroom, they left the door wide open. so tht would mean that everyone in the hallway could pretty much like see their business.....it was really awkward....=_=
seeing the toilet on the ground is not unusual to me. We have (croatia) those types mainly in public toilets/restrooms since that type of toilet is the most hygienic.
in korea me and my friends didn't really know how what that was or how to use it. i actually had to ask somebody about it. its when you just bend down and s*** in it. we call it the shit box. lol
i remember my first time using it in china. it's so nasty. it's so difficult to use. i mean peeing is hard enough for me, imagine if i had to poo in one, oh god. thigh muscles ! LOL.
lol i remember using the bathroom in one when i went to japan... :( it was weird. but apparently, squatting is the proper "pooing method" (learned it on soompi) and its supposed to be "easier to poo" and "faster". yeah. sorry if i grossed u out~
thats pretty much traditional toilets here in asia. korean has it similar to japanese`s. i think indonesia, malaysia, thailand, china, etc have them too, but slightly different. but now u can find western toilets in almost everywhere especially in big cities or modern buildings
Ive been living in Korea for 6 months and have only seen one of these toilets once. He says this is how toilets in Korea even though I'm sure he knows the vast majority arnt like this.
Atuaally you can shit in those urinal thingies-they're not urinals.Over here in Singapore they are used for shitting and peeing.And not just by boys...I GO TO GIRLS SCHOOL.
Oh my god when I went back to korea for the second time to visit family...i HATED those toilets! D; i was like "...wtf??" ewww Dx seriously the one thing i think korea needs to improve on is GET CLEANER AND BETTER PUBLIC BATHROOMS!!!ugh lol
OMD That would be sooo embrassing if someone walked in! Again in China they had that toilet with no walls!! And my its not funny when your in need of a PROPER TOILET!!
The middle east, in china an some parts of Japan have this toilet. So its funny that you have to squat. Its good for the leg muscle! Especially if you do takewando!
lol XD when i lived in china, and we went on a field trip with my class to the countryside, and i really had to pee, but there were only those hole in the ground ones and i just though, "i'll hold it" :DDDD
it's the same as in China! I can't wait to go to Korea! Thanks to you guys, I'm even more excited! I really can't wait!!! Love your videos! FIGHTING!!!
I've encountered something like that as a kid a few times back when I was still in K.S.A (I'm in PH now). I've always hated that and refused to use it (although I don't remember if I did end up using one 'coz it was like 10 or so years ago). LOL! XD

I think that open air toilet is for handicapped students. Usually there is a door for the handicapped commode just like the other stalls. Only difference is wider space. Maybe the school could not put one up due to design of the bathroom. Handicapped use toilets have been added to existing bathrooms in an attempt to a"commodate" folks in wheelchairs, etc. Actually it may even be a law governing public institutions now. It is unusual to see such a "lone toilet" ..just FYI, thx!!

God if its a hygiene issue then lay down a toilet paper bed before you sit! As a female I cant imagine having to squat like that especially during a certain week each month--what a nightmare!!
superstar020 7 months ago 4
@superstar020 its not unhygienic. what would you need to lay down a toilet paper for? the only diff is you have to squat and not sit.
gonnabedess 7 months ago
@gonnabedess My remark about hygiene was towards the people justifying a toilet in the ground as more clean or better than sitting on a toilet like we do in westernized countries. And CLEARLY you are not a female because if you were and were experiencing scathing cramps the last thing you'd suggest is having a nice little squat over the hole in the ground. I consider a sitting toilet to be a welcome luxury and a personal must.

you squat over it and do your business. It's actually more hygienic because your butt won't be touching the toilet seat and it even works your thigh muscles! Hahahaha! Us asians are so used to these toilets that sitting on a toilet seat (western type) is very awkward and considered dirty.

im not sure whats wrong with this bathroom because, although the squat toilets are pretty common at schools, the door/wall-less toilets are something ive never seen in korea.. and i lived there for ten years.

wow that solo open toilet looks freaky but the rest with doors are quite normal. you just squat, that way its cleaner cause you dont sit down and touch anything like that.

@kyokawaii93 To go down that dirty path with you: no it's actually easier to shit than when sitting on a toilet. By the way, Simon is getting it backwards. The hole in the ground as a toilet is the traditional way, even in the west. You have those in Spain too at certain filling stations. They look different but it's the same concept.

lol when i went to school in korea, the toilets that you sit on were for the handicapped. im pretty sure when i went there, there was a stall....but i guess it depends. but anyway for the boys bathroom, they left the door wide open. so tht would mean that everyone in the hallway could pretty much like see their business.....it was really awkward....=_=
