Sanitation and health

In much of china, there are wastepaper baskets for used toilet paper because the plumbing is too weak to handle paper... the washrooms start to smell pretty bad....

That said, I actually think the 'hole in the ground' toilets are cleaner because there isn't any physical contact with any surface! It's funny how used to things we get and how strange different customs seem.

reminds me of a parody i wrote of 'baked beans' by Pierre Burton... i should dig it up some time.
