To squat or not to squat?
That is the question. According to squatplatform.com squatting is much healthier than sitting. For a western woman what is scarey about squatting is not the squat but the absence of flushing, toilet paper and the high possibility of peeing on ones pants or in Bangladesh your Kameez. So I had been avoiding the squat toilet for my first few two weeks. However when I started work this week there was only one female toilet: a squatter. On my first day I tried not to drink too much at work, but yesterday on day two I finally used it without peeing on my pants and I even used water instead of paper and now I have no fear of the squatting toilet!!
