Toilet Paper

Do you know which country doesn't use toilet paper? In most toilets in India there is no toilet paper. This is not because Indians can't afford it, not due to their unique cultural customs. In their beliefs, the left hand is considered unclean, so they use the left hand to clean their buttocks and the right hand to pick up food. Moreover, they think water is the cleanest substance, thus they usually don't bring toilet paper to the toilet.    Instead they place a bucket of water beside the toilet.    After using the toilet, Indians first wet their left hand with water, then clean their buttocks and finally rinse their left hand with water. Therefore, Indians never shake hands with others using the left hand. India, Pakistan, Thailand, Indonesia and Cambodia don't use toilet paper.

你知道哪些国家不用卫生纸吗？ 印度的大多数厕所都没有厕纸。 这并不是因为印度人买不起，也不是因为他们独特的文化习俗。 在他们的信仰中，左手被认为是不洁的，所以他们用左手清洁臀部，用右手拿起食物。 此外，他们认为水是最干净的物质，因此他们通常不带卫生纸去厕所。相反，他们在厕所旁边放了一桶水。上完厕所后，印度人先用水打湿左手，然后清洗臀部，最后用水冲洗左手。 因此，印度人从不用左手和别人握手。 印度、巴基斯坦、泰国、印尼和柬埔寨不使用卫生纸。
