Squatty Potties in Germany?
Forgive me for this question. I'll be mostly in Bavaria. Should I start working on my squatting muscles or will most of the stools be the type we have in the U.S. I was surprised last year to find predominantly squatties in several Tuscan towns as well as the Cinque Terre. Thanks, PJK

I've seen squatty potties in various parts of Europe, but I don't specifically recall seeing one in Bavaria. On the chance that you do see one I recommend not wearing sandals, as the splash zone can extend to a wide radius.
Having said all that, it wouldn't hurt to tone up your squatting muscles anyway. In every part of the world including the USA, I have found sit-down toilets that were so disgusting that I squatted by choice.

I've been all Germany and can assure you that your chance of coming across a squatty potty there is about nil. In addition, several of them have have automatic seat cleaners that clean the seat for the next person after you flush! Really bizarre looking!

I remember reading a news story some years ago about outraged Japanese moms of school age children.
Someone was proposing Western-style toilets to replace squat toilets in the schools. The moms were demonstrating against this change that they felt was so unsanitary.
From a physiological viewpoint, squatting is actually better for achieving desired results. It is also good for your knee and hip joints--keeps them lubricated and more flexible.
