That to which we are accustomed to seems like the only proper way to do things. I remember a story of a Christian missionary working in a place with limited sanitation, and being overjoyed to the point of ecstasy because a care package arrived - with a Western style toilet. They of course didn't have the plumbing infrastructure to properly use it, but that his butt could sit on porcelain rather than wood slats was the greatest thing ever.

Very well written entry. :)
