What's the deal with no toilet seats? I've squatted over the hole-in-the-ground toilets which was a huge shock to me - and no door or toilet paper.

I had no problem with the squat toilets either .. I actually prefer them, the problem is when they actually have a tiolet but without a seat ... makes it a lot more difficult.

I'm not sure whether you are aware that the word "inwalida" (in its Polish spelling) does not have the same connotations to native speakers as labeling someone as "invalid" ("not valid") would have in English. This is because there is no similar sounding word for "valid". "Inwalida" is a neutral expression for "a disabled person" in Polish (so I suspect in Belarussian as well). It is not pejorative as your narration suggests.

Thanks for the clarification. It was really more the feeling that is given to these people, they really are treated by many as if they were "not valid". It was a convenient way to help explain their situation.
