Toilet Woes
During my trip to the Fujian province of China a few years back, I experienced "doing business" in a public toilet with cubicle walls the height of my thighs, and no doors. I was there to visit a distant aunt, and I was staying at her home at that time, for a few days. As the public toilet was just across the road from her home, she didn't see the need to own one herself.
One morning after breakfast, I wanted to "release" myself, so she brought me across to the toilet, which was, much to my relieve, divided into "Male" and "Female" sections. There was a "guard" at the main entrance and he was in charge of cleaning both toilets. My aunt and I went into the female section and I saw a row of nearly-wall-less cubicles. They also had no doors. In place of toilet bowls, was a long and narrow drain which we were supposed to squat over and do our "business". The drain ran under the whole row of cubicles, so if there was anyone using it at the same time as you, you would be able to see "things" floating pass under you. I was very tempted to leave, but I couldn't. My bladder was going to burst. Luckily, there was no one else but us. My aunt went into one and I took another one a few cubicles away. The walls were so low that even when we squatted, I could still see the head and shoulders of my aunt in her cubicle. I've also learnt the trick of pulling up my pants while squatting.
For the rest of my stay, I tried to restrict my intake of water, no matter how thirsty I was. I ate sweets and fruits to "quench" my thirst. I also made sure I didn't get any stomach upset, as I wouldn't want to be seen running to and fro across the road to the toilet!
