Why do most toilets in China have no doors? When I discuss this with my foreign friends, they always ask:

In ancient China, the toilet was a thatched room with ventilation on all sides. The toilet near the fish pond can be said to be the one closest to the water, first get the moon, and fall directly into it. Toilets during the Cultural Revolution, the toilets were installed in the halls, and the middle of the toilets became a cesspool. In the 1980s, toilets began to enter the Stone Age, abandoning wood and thatch and embarking on a modern journey. In the 1990s, the toilet was magnificent and renamed the toilet. It was decorated with plants and fragrant perfume.

However, this is just a microcosm of a certain city. In most campuses and tourist spots, Chinese toilets do not have doors. As mentioned before, there is no door, no toilet, no squat toilet, just an empty cesspool in the middle, with cement pedals on both sides, and then divided into rooms. There is usually a large pool in front of the first toilet for flushing. What's more, maybe a bright mirror is installed opposite each toilet, specifically for people to tidy up after finishing.

Over the years, every Chinese person feels that it is natural and nothing strange. You have it and I have it too, and there is nothing fancy about it. However, every tourist who travels to China does not think so. They are very embarrassed when going to the toilet because there are no doors in the toilets in tourist spots or shopping malls in China. They are very shy. I can't understand why China, which is developing so rapidly, has such primitive toilets. For this reason, I have explained it countless times to our great motherland in Thailand, but there is no clear reason for it. I don’t know why this is because it is very normal in our lives.

Thai students who went to study in China also told me a joke. He said that a man was going to the toilet, and the old man outside the door said, why don’t you close the door? The man replied, My bird is singing. The old man said, be careful if the little bird here falls in love with your little bird! A lady happened to walk by and asked, "Little bird?" What bird? Where? (This lady is in charge of the zoo) When she came over and took a look, the three of them blushed at the same time.

After they finished speaking, they were all laughing, which I didn’t find funny at all. What does this mean? It means that while our country is engaged in urban construction, it has not done a good job in improving basic facilities. It only focuses on the immediate future. After inspecting foreign countries, it does not combine the advantages of other countries with the situation of its own country.

Let’s talk about public buses in Thailand. Public buses in Thailand are not as popular as those in China. Most people have private cars. Many towns and villages do not have public buses in the true sense. Cars, only Bangkok has better air-conditioned buses. Others are just their private fleet of buses, sidecars, and minibuses without air conditioning, driving back and forth in stops and starts. Their non-air-conditioned buses are like our toilets, they don't close the door. It's just that they don't close the door to attract passengers and make it easier to get in and out. On the windy and dusty road, the driver frantically grasped the steering wheel, and the conductor stood by the door, performing dangerous stunts to attract passengers.

Often passengers wave to stop not far away, and the conductor has one leg hanging in the air. After the passengers on the bus get off, he pulls the people who want to get on the bus to get on. You just saw him in the car asking you to get on the bus, and the next second he was already running to the front of the car to collect the money. The front and rear doors of the bus were all open without exception. The conductor was very diligent and I believe he already had the ability to fly. People who ride on the bus must also practice their skills. Not only do they sit firmly, but they also need to stand firm. After all, this is a crazy bus. In addition, you need to be patient when waiting for the bus. In suburban villages and towns, you have to wait for more than 30 minutes for a bus without air conditioning or with air conditioning, and the fastest is 20 minutes. When the bus is overcrowded, you can't even put your toes in. If you're lucky, you can get a bus with air conditioning and seats in fifteen minutes. Moreover, there is never an arrival announcement on the bus, only a human alarm clock, which sometimes fails, so you need to be awake at all times while driving.

Occasionally, women will be given priority when taking a bus, which is something I never thought of in China.

Everyone who lives abroad will experience the big differences between home and abroad, and they always have a unique flavor!
