I've always wanted to capture one of these signs, and was finally in the bathroom with my camera!
You see, in Asia most toilets are squat toilets. People here prefer to squat over a hole that is level with the ground - they say it is a more natural position for the bowels. (Although to clarify, squat toilets here are still porcelain toilets with a flush, just made in a different shape so they are set into the floor of the bathroom.) So, when you do get a public bathroom with sit toilets, you often come in to find footprints all over the seat, because people just climb up and squat over it.
