The Language of Love and Thanksgiving in another country

So right now I am in Taiwan. It is only the third country outside of the USA that i have been to. The first was the 4 years that I lived in Canada for college. Then on the way here, we had a layover in Japan...
"Why, a layover doesn't count!" You might say. But you would be wrong and here is the reason: Forigen Toilets! I don't know if it like this in Africa, Europe or South America, but Asia has squaty potties... Yeah, they are little porscelien holes in the ground, and in nice places you get handle bars.
Now I told numerous people that I was going to Asia, and a few of them had been here before, but no one mentioned this. The travel guides have not mentioned this either.
So i get off the plan in Nagoya, Japan after a 12 hour flight. All the urinals are full, so i go to the stalls. I open the door, and realize I am not sure what I am looking at.
Anyways, I have not used one, but I did get some sweet video of them that I will post sometime when i get back.
THe other thing is the joy of tonal languages.... It sounds like everyone is yelling and mad. Granted it is because I don't understand what they are saying. It makes me wonder if they whisper sweet tonal nothings into each other's ears...
Finally, we got yelled at by a crazy asian store owner and her husband yesterday because I assume they thought we stole something, i don't really know... BUt all we could do is smile and walk away as I believe they were yelling at us... It was humorous... and slightly odd... Oh the wonders of the far east.
I will post more and with pictures when i get back to the good ole' USA, Happy Thanksgiving.
Oh yeah, i forgot, my thanksgiving dinner, was meat pasta and red wine in China... That was funny. But it was good.
