I have been to India before and the bathrooms in China are the same way. Toilets are placed on the ground and you have to squat to do you business. I just read an article about the matter. I was personally trying to search about whether or not people who are not Chinese have to pay in order to go into a bathroom in the public. I once had a professor (Constantine Vaporis, PhD.) who mentioned that he had to pay in order to go the bathrooms in China. That's ridiculous!
Anyhow, much of the article was not that unexpected, but I did like how the article explained the logic behind it. People in China make sure that they have as little physical contact with anything in a bathroom. This may sacrifice convenience, comfort, and privacy. Unlike the United States, where all of that is taken into consideration, but it is forced that people wash their hands.
I guess from just looking at the bathroom issue alone there are stark differences between the US and China. In the US where they teach people that if you make a mess, it is important to clean it up so it doesn't hurt others. In China, they teach if you make a mess, don't let it wipe up on you, so be cautious...? Not sure if that sounds right..
