Turkish Toilets
One of the biggest shocks for Americans in the Middle East is the toilets. Turkish toilets resemble a hole in the ground more than they resemble American style toilets.
It's used how it looks like it's used. What's missing? Why is it missing? (answers in comments)
Of course, Arabs can be just as suprised when seeing western toilets for the first time. Hence the picture below.
If you you look closely at the first picture you will see there is no toilet paper. But there are a couple of water bottles conveniently placed to wash your left hand with.
