Tokyo Blog: Sit or Squat Scwabble, Solved

I apologize for the bathroom talk, but...when it comes to toilets, do you sit or squat? Me, I'm a sitter, and I HATE sqautters (aka"sprayers"). Likewise, I'm sure, for the squatters--dirty sitters soil the toilet seat, making them have to squat in the first place. Well, today I discovered a toilet that solves all that--in some Japanese public bathrooms, the toilets are in the ground. After the initial culture shock (what do I do? Should I take my pants off?) I noticed this handy sign above the toilet, instructing me to squat over the toilet. Gotta say, i preferred it. The lack of toilet seat removed the squat or sit conundrum, and the whole experience seemed a heck of a lot cleaner.
