I should not have read that spoiler, and I presume this is what your own personal eyeballs witnessed.


The person (it/thing) is F'ing SICK and I will meditate and pray that you find out who it is and assist in getting it fired. Not only is this thing is mentally deranged, but they are mean and utterly disgusting.

Where to do I begin?

I had the honor to have an internship in Beijing in the summer of 1995 for 3 months. At the institution that I worked at in Beijing, they too had a women's restroom that had holes in the floor. After getting over the initial shock, I used it a few times and was too disgusted to continue the practice. So, me and my fellow American student peers avoided drinking liquids throughout the day just to avoid using 'the hole'. It worked for the most part, but sometimes nature was demanding upon the body.

When out and about the city, I would go into fancy 'Foreigner' hotels and use their Western style facilities.

Nearly 20 years later, I still sometimes have nightmares about falling down into 'the hole'.
Wow!... Just - WOW!

Yes, I have seen it.

And our bathrooms were recently upgraded which makes this all the more upsetting.

Isn't the "hole" more hygienic? You have to admit that it is?

Totally agree. Adults should know better. If someone's dementia is that bad, maybe it's time to retire already. But let me take this a bit further. With the Ebola panic right now, it's especially not a good idea to get near someone's bodily fluids. The bathroom is the perfect place to pick up a terminal disease of any sort that involves fluids and open wounds. People are rushing to releave themselves and that's one way diseases are picked up; when in a hurry and not paying attention. Things like sink areas, handles, doors of stalls, seats, toilet paper, etc.

Most Westerners also aren't very limber. One must have good control of their thighs and be able to lower themselves safely without tumbling back onto God Almighty only knows. smh

One time while walking around Beijing, I really had to use the bathroom. So much so that I,...

I went into the toilet area of the subway station I was in, and let me just ask ya'll this question, have any of you seen the movie Hell Raiser? The scene where the Cynobites exploded Frank's body?

Yeah. Anyway, needless to say, the shock of the scene made me go into emergency human Camel mode and I eventually made it back to my hotel and relieved myself

Print out a memo and put it in the bathroom to request all to please clean up after themselves, and list the things that shouldn't be done and things that should be done.
