I remember we saw them once in northern Italy at a public toilets ground. I didn’t know they were called squat toilets or nile pans then. I just remember being surprised to see them in Europe as I always thought they were an Asian thing. In most public toilets now in Kuwait there are regularĀ Western style sit down toilets and there are also the squat hole in the ground type.
In Kuwait it is called “adab Arabi” but obviously it is not solely used by Arabs as many Asian countries do too and itĀ is the preferred more sanitary method.
Now the squat toilet has been introduced in a public shopping centre in the U.K
