Dave C's Comments

My wife grew up traveling around the world. Living in SE Asia they had toilets that were basically holes in the floor with small "docks" for your feet on either side. Made getting dysentery very enjoyable...

She also reported that in Denmark because space is at such a premium the entire bathroom is effectively a shower and toilet all combined, and the shower is used to hose down the entire room to clean it. Nice...

A couple years back we saw a TV show about buying apartments in Paris, and the master bathroom was really a toilet behind a drawn curtain, on a dais, right next to the master bed. Wow.

And finally regarding your very first statement, something that always stuck out to me: Watch Moll Flanders, set in the 18th century. In it is a very formal dinner scene where the male head of the family is standing behind a screen doing his business into a pail while chewing food and talking to the family at the dinner table 5 feet away.
