They are also known as squat toilets. Basically, it is a porcelin hole in the ground with a couple of footrests next to it, I assume to make sure you line up your aim right. When finished, there is a bucket in the corner with a cup in it that you use to "flush." In Malaysia and Thailand there are sometimes Western toilets along with Asian toilets (especially in places frequented by tourists), but once I get to Cambodia and Vietnam, I'm told that squatters are the standard. And they don't really use toilet paper. In many places there is a hose (I'm not making this up) next to the toilet that you turn on to cleanse yourself. I hear in Laos it's rarely even a hose, just another bucket of water. Anyway, now I see why it is rude in this part of the world to use your left hand for anything involving food. In case you were curious...
