The bedit, is a lovely thing Americans don't really have. As is the squatty potty. It is something I consider an unecessary accessory to the toilet. I also can say I was really excited and nervous to test out the squatty potty.
(I have no idea what the correct term is for this but I will include pictures)…. the clean one at least.

Through the many airports, train and bus stations, and towns we have been through, there have been many encounters with these things. Turns out, toilet paper is not necessary for them, as it is to us Americans.
Picture this: We are at the train station during our 12 hour wait for our next train to Sangai Petani. Savannah and Sarah, my 2 WR squadmates and I decide to take a trip to the bathroom. I wanted to explain the potties to them and show them how to use it. So there I am, explainging away, leaning over the toilet, them watching eagerly, leaning 1/2 way in the stall door on both sides.
They ask how to use the bedit, so I show them where to nob was to turn on the water or turn it off. Well, surprise to me, the water pressure was more than I could have EVER imagined! I acciedently turned the nob so hard that it came out like a fire hose and was about 6 feet high! It shot straight out at the girls faces and hit the bathrom mirrior, counters, and then flooded the floor!! They screamed and ran away! We decided it wouldn't be a good first impression for them to know the American girls just flooded the bathroom. Although, I'm sure our "oh so subtle" giggling gave it away! Sarah said, " Oh my gosh! Is that poopy water?! Well, at least I had my raincoat on!" We took pictures because it was just too hilarious to not take note of! haha, hope you enjoyed my experience! I'm now a pro 😉 jk
