You're flushing the paper aren't you? Much Korean plumbing is not designed to handle the paper. Have you noticed the rancid waste bins in the public bathroom stalls full of used TP?

So it can't handle paper that breaks down into mash, but it can handle giant dumps containing solid planetary cores from the leftover Pizza you left in the fridge?

The plumbing and sewer is rather primitive. It's the next best thing to not having running water and having waste flowing in the low parts of streets. The water comes in low pressure, but not drinkable while waste flows an inch below the street and direct open grates waft out rank stenchy odors of turds. Pew, gag me with a spoon.

I haven't flushed toilet paper, but I've seen it done several times (actually after it was done) and it does stop up the Korean toilets. The plumbing and sewer is weak in its' functioning.

You must put your toilet paper in a waste basket the same as American women commonly do. We're not in Kansas anymore.

Then we're all agreed? American women don't put their toilet paper in the waste basket unless they're from Kansas?

Is that what you were getting at, Sojourner1? Laughing

Let me tell you the real problem with K toilets.... guys sitting on the toilet and having to hold onto their gear so it does not hang in the water. I hate that. I even went out and bought another toilet seat and fabricated it to the other seat to get it high enough. The paper issues are not a problem...just flush and down they go!
I wish koreans would make bigger toilet seats and higher!

Yeah, nothing worse than dangling your junk in your muck. I hate that too.

Now that I've developed a technique to avoid that, my remaining beef with the toilet stalls here is how damn small they are. It's like crapping in a submarine, or a dollhouse, or Japan or something. You can barely turn around once you get in the door, and you have to be careful to not get the inevitable spittle puddle or the ancient pee spray on your pants.

But those are copmlaints of old, now. I've developed a highly attuned sense of toilet quality and am very discriminating. I only crap in rich people's houses or the better coffee shops these days. Even my own bathroom isn't really up to snuff...I haven't pooped at home in years.
