English is joyful with foreign countries

Oooh, a 'foreigners only' toilet! 
Don't ask why... I've no idea.

Maybe a western style toilet amongst the squatty-potties! When we were in China, the whole bus really perked up when "Western toilets" were at the next rest stop! I would assume the South Korea bathroom situation is similar to the Chinese situation. Maybe not..
My Chinese friends have said they are grossed out by the concept of their bare bum on s seat where other people's bums have been. And when you put it that way, that makes sense, although the idea of squatting over a trench with undiluted waste was beyond gross to me.. I wonder if it just doesn't occur to Asians that they might fall in there. It was all I could think of! But Americans simply have weak, weak thighs!
