They should also have instructions on the proper use of a bidet. Most North American tourists are utterly confounded by those. No, it's not a drinking fountain or a foot bath.
Dumbest post ever.
We spent two weeks in Europe back in the 90's. We didnt see one bidet.
Plus, misuse of a bidet doesn't lead to ****ting on the floor.
I saw plenty of bidets in Paris. I didn't use them.
You guys DO realize that the entire world is not American?
The xenophobia is incredible sometimes...

The xenophobia is coming from those who refuse to adapt to the culture of the country they moved to.

If you are moving into, and living in a country, you learn to assimilate
You can bet the last shred of life as you know it, you have to assimilate if were in an area they control in their country.

When I was in Germany, I saw Germans pi$$ in the street.
In Paris, small toilets were available in many locations. I never saw a bibet or whatever it's called.
I didn't see one either. However I DID see this totally amazing port a potty thing. After you did your business (for a fee), the thing sealed itself up and completely disinfected itself. Walls, floors, toilet seat everything. I didn't even have to go, but wanted to see it in action!

Actually, one of the requirements of Islam is to AVOID using the bathroom in public or people's walkways.
Per Wiki -
Rules[edit]
A Muslim must first find an acceptable place away from standing water, or people's pathways or shade.[4] They are advised that it is better to enter the area with the left foot,[5] facing away from the Qiblah.[1]
While on the toilet, one must remain silent. Talking, answering greetings or greeting others is strongly discouraged.[1] The private parts must be washed with water after defecating (a process called anal cleansing with water) and after urinating. When defecating together, two men cannot converse, nor look at each other's genitals.[6] A man should not touch his genitals with the right hand.[7][8][9][10][11][12][13]
When leaving the toilet, one is advised to leave with the right foot,[5] and also say a prayer – "Praise be to Allah who relieved me of the filth and gave me relief."[1] This is similar in concept to Asher yatzar, the prayers said by orthodox Jews when leaving the toilet in which they thank God for the orifices used to defecate/urinate,[14] and exact ways of proceeding and accompanying prayers are also specified in traditional Zoroastrianism.[15] It is also reported in the Hadith of Bukhari that whenever Muhammad went to the toilet, he said "In the name of Allah, O Allah! I seek refuge with You from all offensive and wicked things" (alternate translation: "from evil deeds and evil spirits").[16]
How being decent about crapping on the floor became about religion is beyond me but there you go. There is no religious reason to crap on the floor.

My favorite was the high tech toilets in Japan. Want your seat heated? Push a button. Want background noise to conceal potty noises? Push a button. Want music? Push a button.

This reminded me of this joke ...
Spoiler
A man traveling by plane and in urgent need to use the mens room is nervously tapping his foot on the floor of the aircraft. Each time he tried the mens room door, it was "OCCUPIED".
The stewardess, aware of his predicament suggested that he go ahead and use the ladies room, but cautioned him against using any of the buttons inside.
The buttons were marked "WW, WA, PP and ATR".
Making the mistake that so many men make in disregarding the importance of what a woman says, the man let his curiosity get the best of him and decided to try the buttons anyway.
He carefully pressed the first button marked "WW" and immediately warm water sprayed all over his entire bottom.
He thought, "WOW, the women really have it made!".
Still curious, he pressed the button marked "WA" and a gentle breeze of warm air quickly dried his hind quarters.
He thought that was out of this world! The button marked "PP" yielded a large powder puff which delicately applied a soft talc to his rear.
Well, naturally he couldn't resist the last button marked "ATR".
When he woke up in the hospital he panicked and buzzed for the nurse.
When she appeared, he cried out, "What happened to me?! The last thing I remember is I was in the ladies room on a business trip!"
The nurse replied, "Yes, you were having a great time until you pressed the 'ATR' button which stands for Automatic Tampon Remover... Your penis is under your pillow!"
They should also have instructions on the proper use of a bidet. Most North American tourists are utterly confounded by those. No, it's not a drinking fountain or a foot bath.

Are they illiterate and mute too? They could read any available signs, ask someone, etc. Taking a dump on the floor is unacceptable.
Compassion for what? Grown adults not knowing how to use the bathroom or ask? You must think they are special needs idiots instead of fully capable people.
Who is the prejudiced one? I'd say the person who thinks they are too stupid to know basic common sense.

Yeah, when she told me that, I didn't know either...
I'm off to google because I've never heard the term either.
She described it as "loving who she loves". She said that she falls in love with peoples spirits and minds...we had a really long discussion and I found it fascinating...

Oh bull. They've seen toilets. They are not that different than what they were using. Maybe just a bit taller...

That can go for ANY unfamiliar situation when traveling. It doesn't mean you take a dump on the floor just because you don't get it, whatever it may be.

You have got to be kidding. They are not morons. I remember the first time I encountered an old fashioned Japanese squatter toilet. I FIGURED IT OUT.
They do have brains - they are not infants.

If you can't figure out how to using a fvcking toilet--you are dumber than a bag of hammers. Even toddlers eventually figure it out.
