Squat toilets instead of Western ones. A small bin next to the toilet for used paper instead of flushing it, because the local plumbing genuinely can't handle it. A hose or bidet sprayer instead of paper at all. These aren't hygiene downgrades — they're just different systems — but showing up with zero warning is how first-time travelers end up in an awkward, entirely avoidable moment on day one. A five-minute read before your flight, and you'll know exactly what to expect and what to pack.
