unbillievable Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 It's a cultural thing. This isn't unusual in Russia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jauronimo Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Its a remnant from the Soviet era. Classic counter espionage. Not only can you not keyster your micro film without your dumping buddy noticing and reporting you to the secret police, but its easy to see who is out of place when confronted with public defecation. Many a western spy's cover was blown when they hesitated to saddle up next to Boris and pinch a loaf. One of the seldom told tales of the Cold War.

Welcome to eastern style toilets. In India, there's a cup chained to the wall for your convenience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledInIllinois Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 @ Philmont, there were these configurations of latrines. Take special note of the "pilot to bombardier" configuration... Back to back seating, offered a bit more privacy, but each person could look out for bears by enabling a 180 degree view w/that help: http://philmont.wikia.com/wiki/Latrine http://m.flickr.com/#/photos/thepumpdoctor/4873153668/ "...The other configuration, called the "pilot to bombardier", is generally preferred because its two seats are back-to-back and offer somewhat more privacy than the "pilot to copilot".
