One of my daughter's co-workers just got back from China and couldn't believe they didn't have flush toilets -- just holes in the ground! Makes me wonder if they are going to have modern "facilities" built in time for the Olympics for all of the athletes to use!
Well, the only time we came across a real toilet was in our hotel room. Most places (restaurants, etc.) have porcelain holes in the ground, but the parks, etc., just have trenches that you sort of stradle, and there wasn't a lot of privacy in the restrooms.
