Squatty Potty

Here in the UAE you rarely find homes with bathrooms like we are accustomed to in America. In public places like the malls or our hospital and even in homes for foreigners there are normal toilets. But at local people's homes you will find toilets that are in the ground. To use these bathrooms you have to be a good squatter. That means your thighs better be in good shape, right? Well, not exactly, but it might be a thing you need to learn from the time you are young.

You try:
1. Put your feet flat on the ground.
2. Bend your knees as far as you can as you squat to the ground.
3. Don't fall down and don't pick your feet up off the ground.

This is how most people here are accustomed to using the bathroom.
Trey, Jessie and I were visiting a friend with the "squatty pottys" and we decided to have a little contest to see who was the best squatter.

You be the judge:

MIN!!! It's been far too long since I've talked to you. I actually thought about sending you a super long e-mail. I should get on that. ANYWAYS, seeing as I squatted a few times in China and will do so again when I go back... (more about that in the e-mail :o)... looks like you have great form!

Trey looks the most relaxed. He wins.
