I seem to remember that in Japan they have the sort of toilet bowl that actually springs water onto your behind and then blow dries it clean... and dry... or maybe it was an innovation that I read about. Never been to Japan so would you care to comment, Frank?

Squatting toilets (ie a hole in the ground) are common public conveniences in France. The more modern ones are like the base of a shower and have two raised steps on which you place your feet. My worst experience was of an auto flush system at a motorway rest area (an "aire") that worked according to its own rules. The decision whether to stand or sit/squat was purely academic after that. :eek: Fortunately it was a very hot day and didn't take too long for me to steam gently in the sun in my clothes till I was dry enough to get back in the car.

Well, I'm a stander. I am very particular about being clean, so I really make an effort to wipe very well, which only seems possible to me when I stand/squat.
I guess that it is just one of those little quirks you never really think about.
