balancing act

In Asia, there are generally two types of women's loo on offer in public places - a western one and a 'long drop' - presumably the latter doesn't need too much explanation, other than to say that it builds up the muscles nicely for skiing.

So you might ask, what do locals do when faced only with the choice of western toilet. You'd think that it would be easier just to sit down - or even hover, but based on my experience recently at the Hong Kong Macau ferry terminal public conveniences, that's not the case. Every toilet seat was embellished with footprints, now imagine that scenario in an aeroplane...
