Bali Toilets
Toilet: Squat toilets are normal and toilet paper is not common in non-tourist areas.
Locals wash with their left hand.
Left hand considered dirty for reason above.
Western-style toilets are common in Kuta, Ubud, and Denpasar, however you may have to deal with a squat toilet if you visit a local.
Always use your right hand to give/receive anything from anyone.
I should've taken more photos of toilets but ya don't think about that when you're there.. hehe..:)
If a bin is provided, you should not flush your toilet paper, instead - use the bin. Our Western ways are blocking their drains. They were working on the drains when I was there last and might of fixed it all up.. you'll find out when you're there from signs or chatter.
I was really glad that I bought my own toilet paper as it wasn't always provided. I also had my own disposable bags which might of been overkill but it sure made disposing it in the bin a lot more pleasant :)
And speaking of overkill, I just remembered that I also had disposable anti-bacterial wipes, like baby wipes.. and I will put it in the essential list of things to pack, because you can give the toilet & taps a once-over in your hotel room (highly recommended at the budget places that don't always have the same quality cleaners as the expensive places).
