    I’m not familiar with turc style toilets, so I did a Google, and I’m still not sure what I’m looking at here. Could you explain how it works? I figure you are supposed to squat over it (which sounds sensible, I mean westerners buy those goofy squatty potty things to awkwardly emulate this) but I don’t understand what the bucket is for? Or why there’s a spigot at the floor level a meter away from the toilet?

    Please have mercy on a confused westerner who wants to understand 😅

      It’s very simple. You squat over a tiny hole (which get clogged easily) and then you wash yourself with water. Of course as a westerner too, I was using toilet paper (which clogged the thing more), so yeah fun times.
