My wife's daughter went to Thailand for a mission trip and said they had what they called "squattie potties" rather than what she was used to back home.

No, people in Japan/South Korea are spoiled with their heated, music-playing, self-cleaning toilets.

This is the venue for the new Olympic event, "Super Stench". Measurement is by extremely sensitive olfactory sensors and results are given in airborne parts per million.

The only problems I had in Moldova were the lousy beds and the lack of shower curtains. I had to mop the damn bathroom after every shower.
