Teach you how to pee

I was researching about the upcoming trip to osaka, kyoto and nara.
I come across an interesting articule.... how to use the use the toilet in Japan; which teaches you how to pee using the squat type....

Here's the details for those who don't know...
There are two kinds of toilets in Japan:
1. the traditional Japanese-style toilet (or 'squat toilet') and
2. the Western-style toilet.

Public washrooms have Japanese-style toilets although in many tourist areas you may find at least one Western-style toilet. In public washrooms toilet paper is uncommon so please remember to always carry tissue paper everywhere you go (there are tissue paper vending machines located outside of the public washrooms).
If you want to only use a Western-style toilet then it is best to use the toilets in department stores or in hotel lobbies.

However, if you have to use a Japanese-style toilet here are some basic tips:
1. Face the hood of the toilet
2. Pull down your pants completely below your knees
3. Squat down as closely to the hood as possible. If the toilet is elevated (such toilets are usually found on trains), you need to stand on a raised platform while squatting
There is usually a small bar to hold on to if you have trouble keeping your balance while squatting

And then just "release"...
