I don't know what the Chinese call these, but we refer to them as squatty potties versus a western toilet. You have to squat down and balance yourself and go into the hole. I have a very hard time balancing and relaxing enough to go to the bathroom, but I can do it now. This bathroom actually supplied toilet paper, but most do not so I carried a pocket Kleenex with me where ever I went. The trash can is for the toilet paper; to prevent clogs you do not flush any paper products. This results in the girls' bathrooms stinking just as much as a boy's bathroom with urinals in the U.S. This squatty potty had an automatic flusher which could be set to flush each time someone moved or some were set to only flush periodically to save water. Again, contributing to the stink. Some squatty potties had a foot switch you could step on to flush it and some had a regular handle on the pipes for you to flush like we'd see in the U.S.
