Any embarrassing moments whilst in the Philippines?

[Englishman2010]

A few weeks back we went to a remote beach in the province, and met up with extended family who cooked us food on the beach. Well I have a very very sensitive stomach, so after about an hour I suddenly had the urge for the toilet.
When I found a toilet, I discovered that it was just a hole in the floor, and I had to squat. It was one of my worst nightmares, a very traumatic experience. When my missus came to find me, she found me covered in sweat and very uncomfortable, I told her to pack the car and get everyone inside ready to go to the nearest civilisation! I got back in the car and sat in silence, with the kids sat in the back stunned still dripping wet in their swimming costumes!

Us westerners seem to get very embarrassed regarding our toilet habits, it's one of those things that we do in quiet and privacy and it's not really talked about. On my travels around Asia, I've noticed that no one really cares about it, I've seen people squatting by the side of the road facing the traffic while crowded buses go by, people squatting on the beach just by the sea, and non one seems to care about flatulence or belching. These are natural bodily functions whicxh everyone has to do, maybe we make too much about it in the west Having said that, I still like the comfort of my locked bathroom when nature calls

Yes, our toilet functions are normally kept private, that said, I often talk to my mahal whilst on the bog and vice versa. Even, may I add when we are together, I guess she loves me farts 'n' all.
