That one's new...

Woohoo! Another quick bathroom story! Don't worry, there will be more on my Singapore and Malaysia trip later, but I felt the need to share this with you first. :)

Immediately upon arrival in Kuala Lumpur (capital of Malaysia), we ran off to a subway and found a bathroom ($0.20 entrance fee) to use.

Peggy was first in line and she saw a stall at the very end open for use. She walked over, walked partially in, stopped and then retreated with a haunted look in her eyes. All she said was, "I don't recognize that kinda of toilet!" We start laughing and since I was the next in line, I decided to brave the unknown and walk into the same stall.

The toilet was very thin and mounted on a wall about the same height as a western toilet bowl. It was kind of banana shaped - like a big thin scoop. All I could see was a sign on the side showing the proper usage of the bum hose (all bathrooms in Singapore/Malaysia are equipped with a hose with which to wash your privates after use) and another sign beside a random button on the wall saying "Built-in Beday."

Anyways, I just followed western style usage for this toilet by hovering, doing what I needed, then wiping. I then left the stall for the next of our traveller friends (who was also surprised by the appearance of the porcelain God) and went to meet the rest of our friends outside.

We then had a fun 5 minute conversation about the various types of toilets in the world and discussing each other's respective country's toilets. They were shocked to find out Canada didn't have squatting toilets, and that I had never used one until I came here.

So there you go, another life experience for Mau. Hee!
