Toilet in Asia Countries

WC (Water Closet)= Toilet= Rest Room

Typical of Indonesian's Toilet


There are some terms or words to refer to a lavatory (toilet room) containing a water closet.

In western countries commonly use closet seat. we just sit in the closet which design as high as a chair. it is used in a way to possess a bowl movement and also has the tools  to flush the waste after used. To clean commonly used toilet paper, you can also use other equipment like a toilet called a bidet.

Otherwise in Asia countries, especially in southeast Asia, East Asia, India and some southern and eastern Europe. They commonly use squat toilet.To clean after using the toilet,  local customs and norm clean it using left hand with the same time pouring water by right hand. while to flush the waste  they water the closet with a lot of water. Because Asia Countries, especially Indonesia they like to use a lot water to sanitize. In tropical country, it is easy to get fresh water, while maybe in west people tend to not using a a lot of water because cold or climate factors. Many five-star Hotels provide western toilet, but still they have water sprays to clean.Only fews of them have real dry toilet with toilet paper or tissue.
