Those porcelain squatters are very common. Here, most public washrooms offer a choice of toilets or squatters. Most homes have one small room with one and one main bathroom with a toilet and bidet. The squatters have a small hose you use to wash up down there.

Squatting is comfortable and really spreads your cheeks wide, so there is very little mess to wipe up. If you have a big load to dump, there's no better way. . I actually prefer them.
