During my first month in China I had complained or commented on the toilets to friends. Well not just me the other westerners that I was traveling with did similar. All of the hostels I stayed in had western toilets but in shopping centers, restaurants, bus stations, train stations and even on trains you encounter squat toilets. At the time some Chinese friends said that these toilets are fine, wait until you get to Yunnan.
2 months later I am in Yunnan and taking an 8 hour bus journey from Dali to Shangri-la. 4 hours into the journey the bus stops at a restaurant for food and a toilet break. Squad toilets is to be expected they are the standard all over Asia but normally they have walls and doors surrounding them. Not the case when you leave the major cities in China.
