It’s been 3.5 weeks in China and a lot of us have grown accustomed to the food, the travel, and the people. But there is most definitely one thing I can never get use to — the public toilets. They are literally just holes in the ground and without fail I pee on myself every time. I will miss a lot about China but the squatters are the one thing I am excited to never see again.
