Hi,
Lately people in the media has started telling us how good it is to squat and shit, and not to sit on toilets.

Because Israel considered to be a Western country, we shit on a toilet and not squat.

In some cases you need to squat and shit: Scouts, family and school hikes and later on in the army and on the “after army trip”.

Now I know, that not only the open space and the view is what makes those shitting so good 

Take Care

Of course someone will find a way to use it to sell stuff to Americans…

It comes from the cooking stoves that used inside it. That is one of the problems EWB try to solve.
