BATHROOMS

So this is mainly for my family who will think this is funny if it insults you in anyway i am sorry but my family will understand my humor.
My take on Chinese bathrooms or any bathroom related topics.
#1. the slits in Chinese babies pants. I know you have all hear of it before but to see it is completely different. you will be walking down the street and you will see a toddler with a stream of water coming from his bottom and it is totally normal. another thing which is more interesting is the 7 year old who just dropped his pants and started peeing. i just looked out my window on the bus and there he was wanting the whole world to see. you really have to watch for the peeing babies or you will step in their pee and you will need to change your shoes some of those babies have a huge bladder.
#2. The lack of toilet paper ANYWHERE!!! i understand the lack of toilets (though every once in awhile you will find one) but there is no Toilet paper. they expect everyone who needs to pee will have their own and therefore there is no need to have some in the stalls. i started carrying a whole role where ever i go. but when i forget it is really annoying and really gross. The dorm at Capitol Normal didn't even have any.
#3. When you do find TP or when everyone brings their own, you don't flush the toilet paper you throw it in the garbage. Not exactly what i want to see someone else's crap in the garbage. ewwwwww. if you do flush toilet paper it plugs very easily. The poor maids at the university would have to unplug everyday.
#4. The smell of the public toilets. well as you can imagine from the description atop YUCK!!!
#5. off the topics of toilets. The lack of walls in the shower. one would imagine that there would be something to stop the flow of water from getting all over the bathroom floor. But there is not, well at least not at our dorm we are now in a 4 star hotel that has a nice bathroom and almost comfortable beds but at the dorm we had a little problem with water getting everywhere. with no ledge to stop the water from getting all over the floor and the shower head having a leak my roommates accused me of doing the Canadian rain dance because the whole bathroom would be totally soaked. Erin was accused of plugging the toilet i was blamed for the water everywhere though it wasn't totally me.
#6. back to toilets. the public ones are nasty like i said above but i would like to elaborate. if you find the toilets the Chinese don't know how to use them. there is always pee on the seats yuck.
#7. according to one guy on my trip there is going to be an out break of the black plague in China soon. today there was crap all over the floor and there were no doors on the squaty pottys. interesting.
#8. the lack of soap in the public restrooms. you would think that with the risk of black plague so high that there would be soap everywhere to slowdown the inevitability. but no. most places you find will either be completely out or none to begin with. kinda worry some if you ask me.
This is what i have found so far but i am sure that there will be more and i may elaborate during different points of my trip.
