East Vs West Cultural Differences Department

Found this and photographed it in January when I was in Singapore. I was terrified all rest rooms were going to be so equipped. I was mystified as to how anyone could use these. Then I remembered a well travelled female friend telling me about "Squatters" when her family was stationed in Japan. Mind you this was when I was in Junior High. The first time I saw one of these was a "light bulb" moment. I remembered her all of a sudden. How she looked (Red headed and built. Fine high chiseled cheekbones. Piercing Green eyes) The stories she told. (About the exotic places she'd lived). What I thought about her (I thought she was screwing my Art Teacher. She was so mature, I felt she was out of reach. I think she put herself on a pedestal so we didn't have to). Funny how seeing one thing can bring back a flood of memories. Wonder what else I've managed to block out. Maybe I'm just an uncultured American, but...
