A friend of mine was in Moscow in maybe ‘93, ‘94, or ‘95, and said that all of the toilets at McDonalds (regular toilets) had footprints all over the seats, because country folk had been through, and didn’t understand what they were supposed to do. You’d have the same problem in China. It would be a mess.

We have that same problem today in the USA where I work.

I know a fellow who got an engineering job with Freeport-McMoRan, which included an overseas rotation to one of the company's copper mines in Indonesia. He reported that the locals thought that all Americans must have very good balance in order to squat so far above the ground.

I have a couple of friends that are working in China for a US corp. They have confirmed that the sit down toilets are quite messy because they do get used like squat toilets. He had to hold training sessions in the bathrooms for his staff and then again for each new hire.
