Different Countries, Different Toilet Cultures

I am trying my best to get myself concentrate in order to write an interesting post without much errors.
My Taiwan travelogue has yet to be ended, but i am just too lazy to write a closing. Hence, i browse through the pictures, sourcing some blogging topics, to my surprise, I’ve actually taken lots of toilet photos!!! *Some strange habits*
Toilet Sign @ one of public toilet
Ok, this is not typo error, don’t blame them for their broken English, I bet they are trying hard to get us understand too. At least you understand it meant for LADIES not LIDEAS. 
Can you understand the message they are trying to send?
Again. I know there are those grammatical mistakes. I believe Mr.STP sure start grumbling how can they make such mistakes.
The message is actually wanted to WARN the toilet users not to throw ANYTHING into the toilet bowl. It can be seen in most of the public toilet. Other than your poo and pee and TOILET PAPER, others are not accepted! Some of the toilet not even allow you to dispose the toilet paper, that is why they will always prepare a bin beside the toilet bowl for your disposal purposes. 
Restroom = 化妝室 (Hua Zhuang Si) -In Taiwan
Somehow, if you ask me what is 化妝室 (Hua Zhuang Si) , I will actually answer you its, MAKE UP ROOM. Ok, now is Taiwan people turn back and laugh at Malaysia’s banana Chinese. =.=
Squatting toilet bowl and flushing pedal!
No matter where i go, most of the public toilet remains clean. Probably of the design, and the practices that they do. I prefer squatting toilet which is more hygiene to me, further more, they are using this flushing pedal which is much more easier for me to flush the toilet bowl!
Somehow i do believe Big Taukeh like him sure don’t like Squatting at the toilet.
Urgent Button. STP, i guess they meant for EMERGENCY BUTTON.
I saw this URGENT button inside the toilet of the highway rest stop. This is how good their public facilities is. Something that we really need to practice from them. Do you aware lots of criminal actually happen in toilet? Hmmm.. think about it! Not only criminals, you can’t smell when accidents happen too!
There’s also CCTV installed at the entrance of the toilet, but that only applies to certain Public Toilets around Taiwan. Mostly are the tourist attractions places.
Lastly, the best practice that Malaysia should adapt! All their toilets are FREE OF CHARGE for entrance!! Not like in Malaysia, got RM0.20 la, RM0.50 la, RM 2 for auto toilet la and the 5star one la.. bla bla bla.. We are also tax payer wat.. *out of topic*

Simplify your life, days goes on easier.
Gonna catch up some great movies. :p

Taukeh where got squat in toilet one? Always sit with the day’s papers on the business pages.
Welcome back!
BTW, our office toilet ALWAYS gets blocked from people flushing CERTAIN female hygiene products down the toilet. Pads are not meant to be flushed.
