I remember the profound shock during a study exchange to east Asia when I realised I'd have to spend a year on squat toilets.

Took a couple months to feel 'safe', and not have to constantly check my pants weren't in the way.

Never got comfortable enough to read on the toilet.

My issue was my trousers kept falling on the wet floor. In the end I just took them off whenever I needed to go :D

I remember this as well. I simply just avoided going to the bathroom until I got to the hotel, they usually have western toilets inside.

You haven't really experienced a squat toilet until you've had diahrrea though (pretty common for people travelling abroad for first time / not used to differences in bacteria culture / not taking food medication).

I had some terrible experiences
