China Stuff, freedoms...

[Monty]

I'm in China for a few days.
Went to watch JB's jointed minnow video.
Found out youtube is banned (locked out) here.

So is facebook and a bunch of google apps.

Mikes Plugs started a sale and I went to check it out, must be banned in china, its a no go.

I think people who complain how lousy our govt and country is....should take a trip to China or Russia, and see how bad things can really get.....

I'm glad you shared that.....it's always good to see living perspectives from another point of view....be safe and careful what you look at...your internet access is probably monitored as well....

A couple other differences in China.

The bath room was so disgusting my *ss puckered up and refused to $hit. Was unreal bad. A bunch of holes in the ground with maybe a trickle of water and $hit splattered about. I must be getting old, I have been around these bathrooms before years ago, but was completely disgusted this time.
Will do best to schedule, also need to bring TP in case of emergency as there was none around.

Bottled water, not available in the factory, went 11 hours today without water (brought nutrition bars with me but the splattered $hit disgusted me so much I could only eat one). Stopped on way back to hotel and the people I am working for bought me a case of water (they are very nice people).

Hotel is very modern. Extremely clean. Have no idea why the have glass clear doors and walls inside the room, like to go to the bathroom its a see through glass door that is always closed or when open blocks a hall. Hard to see in the dimmed room....plus they have energy efficient lighting....the whole room is dimmed, that oldness makes it very difficult to see in a dimmed room. Plus motion sensors....everything is turning on and off automatically....I sit up and a light goes on..stuff just turns off.
And last night fireworks went off 30 yards straight out from my window (I'm on 18th floor). That was a surprise.

So far a decent trip.

They don't have toilets? How do you aim when you take a dump?

They crouch over the hole.....its like 2 inch diameter...In the center of a bigger oval hole...I do not think they have good aim...this one I don't think had running water...or a trickle at most, there were like 12 of them.
I am thinking that's how it goes here, have seen it on other trips to other places in China.

Dude you can't be serious. A 2 inch hole? What if you went to white castle the night before and have the runs.

Well the person going after you would be pretty disgusted I am thinking.....

This is so nasty. like a porta potty during early spring. Sometimes they don't clean them regularly the fishermen are pigs. In a public place you would think the bathrooms are in better shape. Just a hole in the ground? thanks for sharing

There is piping from them to a somewhere. Its that I have not seen evidence of running water, maybe they spray these down? They must/do at some point. Must clean them up, it just wasn't this day.Hoping tomorrow will be nice and clean just in case.

What he is talking about is not unusual. I have been on some commercial ships built in other countries. In a few the head consisted of a hole plumbed down into a holding tank. There would be an open and shut vent to keep it from overflowing or sloshing. None of the comforts that we are used to.

I really appreciate the toilet at the hotel

Just to clear things up, dim lights in the toilet area? How do you wipe yourself thoroughly. I was busting you before your trip. Now I feel bad for you. You don't have to bring any food back for us the e-coli can stay over there. I feel so bad I might give you an extra week head start in the dead things thread. never in my life could I imagine taking a dump in a hole in the floor. Do you have to wear a raincoat and boat shoes when you go in there?
I have much more respect for you now. Good luck.

Yes if you look at porn or try to search for girls in bikinis maybe you could be arrested. I have heard they have no tolerance for anything that is out of the ordinary. Be careful. Don't want to comment on the toilet stuff that is just gross!

Last thing I need is a head start in the Dead Things Contest.
I am only here 2 more days, so just a little inconvenience, I could surely use those boat shoes, have to do #1 in those holes too.

Have done a little thinking, with the glass walls and doors in the room, the toilet here is completely viewable with the door closed (wall and door is clear glass from floor to ceiling).
So if someone was here and had to go, they would be 100% viewable....That is weird.

Bababooey would likely be in trouble out here.

A few other thoughts, and these are based on this and a few other trips here.
People are generally more friendly here than the US, more helpful.
Also people dress better here. In the US our clothes are more sloppy, people seem to be a step up or two from the US in this area.
Vehicle horn beeping is out of control.
Each trip over here there are substantial more newer vehicles on the road.

So they have nice clothes to crap on when they miss the hole.Glass doors and walls you may be on the internet

If you have to go and some other guys do as well then you are all standing next to each other crapping in those little holes? Yech!

^^^^^
Picture this - 6 guys lined up like the start of a race. There are 12 holes in the ground. There is a ref with a starting gun on the side. He fires the gun. They all run to the least slippery hole,. drop their drawers and dump the turds. Then as surfstix said they televise it on some underground porn channel. Haha that is some sick system!

, It could go like this..
Starting gun fires, announcer says "and there off, Billy-Bob takes the lead, Darkskies seems to be settling in to take a nap......... "

Dark, ya fall a sleep one time in a porta-john, ya get mentioned in every poop related thread.
