The Squatty Potty
While many of us who have traveled in South Asia and the far east and have come across this, a dreaded part of a daily ritual,will find it interesting

Here is the clip

Reminded me of Uncle Tans boot camp along the Kinabantangan river.

Interesting.

I got my fill of squat toilets when I lived in the Middle East. I always wondered how those with bad knees (like myself) cope on a daily basis...bad knees and squats = falling over.

Interesting indeed. It is also the thigh muscles that start quivering after awhile. Age does not enhance the position. I guess the stool is the answer.
