Very awkward to use if you're used to US ones. Guess some feel the same way about ours so they do what they are comfortable with.

:Q I encountered one of those in Italy. I thought it was just a urinal and wondered where you'd do your other business.

i don't know if this will affect your enjoyment of the work but what i've experienced:

1. to show agreement we nod our heads, however, some indian people i work with do a sort of shake of their heads which looks like they disagree.
2. mustaches are a sign of virility.
3. at least as far as the women are concerned, you may find footprints on the toilet seats. my wife found this where she worked and witnessed the cause.

lmao I'm Indian and I agree with #1 although #2 is a gross generalization but its true to a certain extent in certain parts of India ( not all ).. However the third one, I can't agree with that.. lol.. wtf! English toilets are used in the cities in India and I'm sure people working in this Indian company of yours are either living in the cities or have lived there.

well, to be fair, i never witnessed #3 myself. however, my wife, while working at an american company, followed an indian woman she suspected of standing on the seats into the bathroom and watched as she went into a stall and then first one foot disappeared, and then the other foot disappeared.

India does not need people like you.

I guess I can't say anything about your wife's experience but I don't think its the norm. lol.. oh well...
