One comment in Traditional Chinese reads, “No wonder foreigners get such a headache when they see squat toilets.”
Another comment in Traditional Chinese read, “Not being able to do it is not a problem, because I can’t do it either. However, I think not being able to do it is because of a lack of exercising the thigh muscles or because of a big butt causing one to lose their balance.”
