What about the continental squat types? (Like a shower tray, with two
pedestals you stand on and a big hole where you make your deposit; for those
who've never had the pleasure to encounter such a beast.)

The only one I came across was in Grenoble in France over 20 years
ago. It was a shared loo, men and women (though not together
thankfully).

Rather disgusting arrangement I felt.

The other type I wasn't too keen on was in California, modern office
and very clean. But out there they like the water in the toilet bowl
to fill up almost to the brim and cover the entire bowl, not like over
here where you get just a small amount of water covering the bend.

Having a crap in one of these nearly-full loos is an interesting
experience if you deliver floaters (depends what you've had the night
before etc). There's something a bit disconcerting about your waste
products bobbing about like submarines.

As opposed to your dump sitting smiling at you from a shelf awaiting
your flushing it away
