Don't bother to click. This is the full size view already.
This is a squat toilet.

It has no seat.

And if you have weak knees like some folks...

...eewww...

...eewww...

Eeeeewwwww!

 

What a frightening, hideous thought! Every time I'm confronted with one of these toilets--which are everywhere, including subway stations and hospitals--I begin to panic at the thought of a knee giving out and sploosh! a body part plunging into the contents of that evil porcelain poop-pot. Fortunately, there are enough civilized models around that one can avoid ever having to use one of these nasty beasts.

A slightly more ornate model

On a more positive bathroom note, I have been very impressed with the fact that Koreans are not obsessed with bathroom graffiti and, since coming here, I've only seen one bathroom cubicle that has been adorned with such smutty stall script. Suspiciously (and not surprisingly) it was in a public washroom at an International Clinic which is frequented mainly by westerners.

Note: the webmaster is proud to disclose that the squat toilet photos on this page were not taken by his camera.
