Do the older squat toilets have a hose inside the stall for washing the areas?

no, the older squat toilets are in areas where there is no running water

We do have toilet paper here, though.

P.S. Welcome to Korea!!

Not sure why you ask but your apartment will have a western-style toilet & they are common in public facilities. Squatters are around if you prefer but you never have to go far to find a sit-down unit.

I'd guess that theres not one foreign teacher here with a squatter in their home. Anyone prove me wrong?

Not prove you wrong, but there's a squatter a couple of meters from my door which I guess I could use if you wanted.

Silly foreigner, why? My question is perfectly reasonable and not covered elsewhere. I prefer washing to just smearing the shit around. Where I am now, there are squat toilets (as well as western style ones) and all the public toilets have a hose, or at least faucet, in the stall. Other countries I've visited with squat toilets also have a hose. So in my past experience, squat toilet has =ed hose. While in not a deciding factor, its something I was curious about. Thanks for the responses!

The poster was just kidding around. That's why there is a Laughing

One should be easy on you though because you are new here. Don't worry about it. It was a good question.

Because most Koreans are not Muslims.

The hose is a good idea though. Paper is not as, er, cleansing.

I'll have to say, I prefer the Korean design. The "flush" feature is a nice addition.

Was that sarcasm? I did not want the new poster to have hurt feelings.
