It wasn’t a squat pot, it was a decent looking toilet in an average Chinesey hotel.
I went into the bathroom, lifted the seat, and the red letters of CAUTION caught my attention.
If you can’t read the picture, I’ll go ahead and type out the text as follows:
“It can reach more than 100,000 times if you push down the butt plate by using force.”

“Do Not use the litmusless cleaners to clean the seat-Cover, do no use the rigid or ablation, that will damage the surface of the seat-cover.”
“Please avoid it from being shone directly by the sunlight or high temperature and strong light. (For they may cause the butt late to change color.)”
“Do Not put heavy things on the butt plate. (For they may cause the butt plate to split open.)”
I found the entire warning of caution to be absolutely hilarious!
Butt plate anyone?

🙂 It is always funny to see people keep shoting toilets in China and expressing the enlightment afterwards. Small details that locals will never pay attentions to are always sth big in a traveler’s eye. Like it very much!

China does have some of the funniest signs I’ve seen in Asia. Even the official ones are usually pretty hilarious! But butt plates 🙂

That is awesome. I would want to see the butt plate change color, actually, so I would have to defy those warnings!

Hahaha, this is too good! I wonder how much weight it takes to actually split these so-called butt plates…

Split butt plates are a huge problem in China. You should be more sensitive. 🙂
