NOW that makes sense!

you gave me the impression that you were gonna drive back n forth across the country just so that you could get the smog test in california.

now i dont think you're nuts ;)

drive safe!

btw, since i was just in china last month, i can say this: no man can describe what it is like in the women's restrooms (unless of course they experience it themselves!).. it is truly revolting. i don't mind the toliet being on the ground or that it stinks, cos hell, what we pass out DOES stink! it is actually the privacy - in most public restrooms i went to, there were no stalls so you would have asian eyes glued on you while you pee (or letting the turtle out) onto this long open pipe. yes literally, you'd see all that brown goo and urine meshing together as they float down to one end. you'd have to bring your own toliet paper and when u were done with it, u couldn't throw it in the pipe as well. there's a small can in each stall to throw that waste into.

so the only improvement they need to make is put up doors for each stall!

an arab guy once told me that squatting is actually better than sitting on the western toliet as it helps the bm moves out easily.

good point? :)

ever since i was a kid, i've always known that taking a shit while squatting is the best way to do it as opposed to sitting on the lid. squatting saves tons of toilet papers. my fiancee once took a dump in a rural toilet during the rain. you can imagine the horror on her face...
