Ha ha! I'm just back from China and boy am I glad! No more squatters ever! For those of you who have never been, the porcelain goddess (toilet) choice in China is a squatter. A porcelain hole in the ground in which you squat to pee in to. NO THANKS! In 12 days I only had to try it once, and then upon assuming the upright position, almost slipped and fell into the dang thing. YUCK.

China is amazing. I saw the Terra Cotta Soldiers, the Forbidden City and Tinnamen Square (that's another story for another day), Shanghai, Wuhan, Wushan, Xian, and Bejing. Operas, acrobats, and the chinese market place. (another big YUCK). So much history I learned, so many notes I took, and I still feel I can only remember a small amount I learned.

BUT NO MORE SQUATTER TOILETS. YES, I'M GLAD TO BE BACK IN THE U. S. A. !
