Toilets: How Long?
« on: April 20, 2012, 11:06:13 AM »
How long did it take you to work out the appropriate use of a Turkish toilet? I think it must have been the third or fourth year that I visisted before it dawned on me how it was designed to be used. At least I think I now know, but I've never asked a Turkish person to confirm that I have got this right. It is a little delicate and personal a topic.

I think this came up a couple of years ago as part of a topic as to whether you should bin or flush toilet paper. I made the point that if you use the Turkish toilet as intended you will only put clean paper in your bin.

Yes KK, but did you know this straight off, or was it a result of head scratching, experimentation and/or research?

I fear a "Turkish Tale" or two might be coming...

My question is this. If going for a wee do you aim straight into the hole to make as much noise as possible, or splash it around the sides to keep it quiet?
