jacob, Though I have been around squat toilets for a while and am not adverse to them, every time i open a stall door and see one, my initial reaction is still not a positive one, hehe! But it might be cuz they are often not too clean, the public ones anyway.

eyux, 'Wellies' or rubber boots as I call them are certainly available here. However, if you have feet that are larger than size 8 (39) (women) or size 11 (46) (men) you won't find any shoes for yourself!

hi jacobvanderwiel, Hey if you're only 16 its the perfect time to immerse yourself in Chinese, you will learn very quickly! Maybe you can try to get an exchange program to China, or something like that? Or once you graduate from high school, you can come to University here.

hi Art, I have to say, that I have yet to experience a non-smoking 'anywhere' in China!

hi liansuo, The translations on the advanced lessons are currently not accurate at times because originally we did not include any translations for this level. We currently don't have the resources to translate the advanced lessons. Previously, many users preferred us to leave in the computer generated translations (which sometimes are not correct) as opposed to having no translation at all. So that is why they are a little off sometimes.

hi AuntySue, I'm not afraid, I will answer for you!! When you are in the squat position, if you do it right, the liquid will fall as it should. Your legs are one on each side of the trough. Gravity does the rest.

Heheh, if this toilet got a star rating, I wonder what it would be:
