 Brilliant
Seriously though, it is kind of funny to see a kid being held in a squatting position only to piss on his grandma's shoes... Funny in an utmost repulsive kind of way of course.....
TIC... There's still a looooooong way to go...... And that way you can multiply by at least 2, cause of the fact that most Chinese are raised by their grandparents.... |

Speaking of toilets and things someone might be able to explain......
What is the deal with putting the "ass wiped used" TP in the trashcan in the restroom 
I have asked my wife and Chinese friends about this, but they do not seem to have any answer other than the obvious one of course..... |

It is to help with the sewage. In Cabo San Lucas Mexico the toilets will easily clog if you flush the paper. Probably the same here. |

Well that'll be fun until the apartment below you floods with **** water and you have to pay for the repairs*.
*depending on the age of your apartment building. |

Ok so something that has happened a few times since being in china happened again yesterday - the only difference being it was in my office building...
I went to go to the toilet and there was a woman sitting there peeing in one of the cubicles with the door completely open - I went to walk into that one without realising she was there and almost fell over when I saw her! (as I said I have seen this behaviour in some dodgy toilets around china, but not in the office...)
WHY? I asked the chinese girl next to me in the office and she said either convenience or she didn't want to touch the dirty door - well the second one is out because once she finished she didnt wash her hands... I am not trying to bash china here am just curious why anybody would be ok with peeing with the door open in public? Any answers on this strange behaivour? |
Haven't you seen people standing next to their car / taxi / motorcycle by the side of the road peeing and not even turned away from traffic? This is called "Talking to a tree" in China.
Ever notice large steamers on the footpath or nature strip? Not all of them are from dogs... Taxi drivers at night.
Ever notice the crotch less pants for toddlers so the mother can hold her child by the thighs to aim the pee or even poop to the street or rubbish can in a shop - or even onto the floor on the subway? Forget about cleaning up after your dog! hahaha
Its strange to us, but not to them. We are not where we grew up and they are where they grew up. Its changing, give it about 50 more years...  |

Mystery solved: Here are reasons why TP or what is used as TP gets tossed into the bin.
 WARNING: Not for the easily disgusted!
Reason: Flush toilets are relativity new in many parts of China. Even Shanghai in the early 90's public toilets (even many old residential toilets) were often just a bucket with a scoop for men to pee into and without for poop.
Pee & Poop was and still is a valuable commodity that is sold to farmers  (new meaning for organically grown, huh?) Therefore TP (newspaper, cardboard etc) is not welcome into the mix. Back then in Shanghai there used to be many tricycles carrying white plastic barrels of pee sloshing around peddled down the street. You always could see them coming (if not smell them first) as people gave them a wider berth.
Reason: Toilet paper was a recent innovation - news paper, cardboard, or just about anything was used and that would clog the toilet.
Reason: Even with proper toilet paper the plumbing for flush toilets was often not up to par so anything other than pee or poop would clog up the works...or even a good poop.
These are the basic reasons how the habit of tossing the whatever is used as TP into the bin came about. Oh yeah, that was even collected to be recycled... (yes, don't think about it) |

| Still the most amazing thing I have ever seen in China, perhaps in my lifetime, was a well dressed man in a public restroom, after finding the toilets were all occupied, blow a big load of diarrhea in to a urinal. And (as I posted here once) I saw a grandmother allow her little grandsonson to urinate on the floor of a crowded public bus. It just ain't a big deal here to do your bodily functions in public. Surprised they don't screw in public too! |
I saw a load of liquid chocolate in the urinal one day too in my office building. Never could figure that one out. Must have been a full house |

Thank for the very thorough explanation.
And you are right, don't think about it. |

I guess you never got the story in the Chinese news a few years back about used "sanitary napkins' being collected and recycled.
Apparently the collected used sanitary napkins were sorted out buy size and degree of "useness". Workers would remove what debris they could before they were bleached, new glue applied and plain wrapped in packs.
How it was found out.
A reporter noticed people collecting sanitary napkins from garbage and an increase of "women's problems" in the area. He managed to find what happened to the sanitary napkins and reported it. This was the second time this company was caught doing this... Second time??
Oops too much information... |
