Toilet etiquette at the urinals:
Toilet ratings:
For those (like me before this trip) who have never seen a typical Chinese toilet, here it is. Most tourist locations in China offer both squatting toilets like this one, and sitting toilets like we "big-nose" Americans are used to. We found all but one public bathroom to be very clean (although our tourist guides only took us to nice bathrooms). The only really disconcerting thing is that the pipes in these public areas will not tolerate paper of any kind, so all new and used toilet paper goes into a wastebasket next to the toilet. The hotels all had more than adequate plumbing, and were very American, so to speak.
On to more pleasant things. Here are two signs at the beginning of our climb on the Great Wall:
This final sign was a display at one of the Buddhist temples we saw, and contains great counsel:
not so much for the squatting toilets...lol But I LOVE the first sign...the Small Grass Smile... Lovely...
