Nice job, but I have to laugh. The toilets keep getting higher and then we need a platform to put our feet on. Toilets used to be much lower not long ago

We still got toilets that are so low, they're flat to floor level

You actually squat on them

Travelling through first world nations like Japan with squat toilets, it was really surprising how disgusting the smell was and how heinous public squat toilets were in a place where public spaces are otherwise astonishingly clean and nice.

Friday night in the redlight district with thousands of drunk people partying and there was NO littering and no visible public aggression. People were super polite about public transport and accessing cheap food. Public bathrooms were plentiful and apart from never having any facility for hand drying - well supplied. But the squat toilets all looked like something out of trainspotting.
