They do take some getting used to, though. Good tip from Dave, squat as low as you can! And if you're traveling to <a href="http://www.travelproducts.com/japan/electric.html" rel="nofollow">Japan</a>, there are more American toilets than traditional squatters!

Having used the Squat Toliet in Africa, India, China and in some European cities I would like to suggest if wearing jeans, slacks, long pants, ROLL up the leg material before entering the facilities.

Some of my best experiences are random, spur-of-the-moment trips into the semi-unknown.But planning is vital so I don't get too lost and spend extra money trying to get myself out of a fix. I agree.

But as one commenter already pointed out the left-handed thing sucks especially since I'm left-handed. I can just see myself in a restaurant eating dinner and someone throws a shoe at me...lol These are really great tips. But as one commenter already pointed

Fully agree with not going by the book. Just yesterday, we are in Kataisi, Georgia, we went to these caves only 15 km outside the city and they were amazing - and amazingly - not in the guidebook. It is best to ask at the hostel or where you are staying what you should see in the city and surrounding area. These are some great tips. Fully agree with not going by the book.
