Hi James, Very instructive indeed. Antonio

Hi James , How do you do ? Happy new year 2008 . I 'm sorry my first reply to your blog , didn't show up And it 's my second ( I hope that it will display ) .What are you all doing . What about your interesting profession . When I read a book or see movies about all about trial , I really enjoy , but I always like the lawyer side and not the prosecutor side ( sorry , maybe it origins just from my dream about books and movies ) . How do your kids ? And what about your caring wife ? Are your Brizilian guest , living with you ? Oh what a controversy question . I do prefer the squat one , but the older I 'll become , the much I 'll need it and as you know the squat one is n't good for our knees at all . I remember , how much I was in trouble while we were staying at hotel to find a squat one and at last I had to learn how to use it . But my little son , surprisingly loved it and always prefer the sitting one . Have fun and I 'm looking forward to your interesting and humorous entries . So long

James, do you know why many of us westerners dislike the squatter toilet? It's because we didn't grow up using them, so we don't have the flexibility that you demonstrate so well in your photo! If you ask the average westerner to try to squat like you, with bum touching heels, he/she would wobble about or fall over, which is not a good thing to do in a public toilet! Perhaps if all western children were taught to use squatters, we wouldn't grow up to dislike them so much! I spent many years in Asia, so I'm used to squatters. And I found that it's much easier to use them in you're wearing high heels. Although this is not much use to men! Also, not *all* westerners dislike them. The squatter is still used in France, though it is becoming less popular. What diverse topics we cover on this blog!
