US Olympic tourists warned about monitoring in hotels

Mar 21 03:49 PM US/Eastern

Americans traveling to China for the Olympic Games in August can expect their hotel rooms there to be monitored, the State Department warned on its website.

"All visitors should be aware that they have no reasonable expectation of privacy in public or private locations," according to the State Department site.

"All hotel rooms and offices are considered to be subject to on-site or remote technical monitoring at all times. Hotel rooms, residences and offices may be accessed at any time without the occupant's consent or knowledge," it said.

It added that many hotels and apartment buildings may be poorly built, lack emergency exits, fire extinguishers, carbon monoxide monitors and basic security like locks, alarms, and personnel.

It also said that the threat of terrorism appeared to be minimal, but urged caution nonetheless.

"The threat level for terrorism against Americans in China remains low. However, any large-scale public event like the upcoming Olympic Games could become the focus of terrorist acts or other forms of violence," it said.

"There is no reason to believe that US citizens are being targeted at this time," it said.

It also said crime rates were relatively low, with major metropolitan areas safer than similar sized cities in other developing countries.

But "while the overall crime threat is low, the number of criminal incidents, including those directed against Americans, continues to rise," it added.

The Olympic Summer Games will take place from August 8-24, followed by the Beijing Paralympic Summer Games 2008 from September 6-17.

With the great restaurants in Chinatown, here in NYC ...... WHY THE HELL WOULD I WANT TO GO TO CHINA ?!?!?!?!

[THE FEZ MAN]

[Three Hole Puncher]

They've confirmed that the housing for the Olympic athletes will be equipped with the standard Chinese "squat toilets"...

I dealt with these things when I was over on the slanty side of the Pacific back when I was a Navy lad. You feel like the bombardier of the Enola Gay when you're dropping a deuce in one of these contraptions.

[Sinn Fein]

Fuck China. They're a bunch of savages over there. They make some of the other savages in other parts of the world almost appear to be somewhat civilized.

EDIT: WTF is with that toilet? Jesus. BTW, the Enola Gay line made me chuckle. Nicely done, sir.

Seriously dude... that's the way those savages take a dump over there... squatting... like a fucking beast in the jungle. If you stay at a fancy, expensive hotel you might get a quality dumper like this...

If you stay in a cheap place... you'll basically be shitting into a hole in the floor...

Unreal.

[Jef Leppard]

if it wasnt for the food and the chicks (in that order imo) that fuckin country is useless

[Ego]

You think that the Olympic teams might be bringing something like a Pavarotti adapter? Something they can just place over the toilet that will allow them to sit like civilized human beings to dump.

[gleet]

http://inventorspot.com/files/images/float356.img_assist_custom.jpg



Which way do I face when I'm using that thing?

Ever since the knee operation, my squat lasts about 30 seconds, while my dumps last alot longer. I find a handy log when I'm in the woods.

:icon_lol:

I think I'll save it to my stash.

[South Jersey]

One of our salesman went there last year, he says the entire country smells like urine. You also better watch where you eat, a refrigerator is a luxury over there.

[DoucheMeister]

I still can't believe that toilet. What is the hump at one for, in case you have a bad case of the shits?

[alclark]

http://inventorspot.com/files/images/float356.img_assist_custom.jpg




Those toilets make it a lot easier for the toilet voyeurs to get a good shot. The regular US bowl requires waterproof camera equipment, while this just needs a hole in the wall.

"China? All the women there have cardboard, pancake asses like my girlfriend, but that's not the worst of it. I have to use this microscope to see the genitals of the men there, just like yours, Sam!"

[weakside]

As someone who doesn't even do well camping, there is no way I could use those toilets.

However, I wouldn't worry too much about crime. China is itching to become the next chief power in the world and is using these Olympic games as a way of highlighting why that should be. As they aren’t looking to make headlines for the wrong reasons, God help the criminal that assaults a foreign tourist.

[Sam_Adams]

I think we and the rest of the world would boycott these communist motherfuckers.

You can't be killing peaceful buddhists in your nation's Capital (never understood why the city is the Capital and the legislative building is the Capitol) and expect for civilized nations to be cool with it and show up for a peaceful festival.

All of Europe and the US should boycott to protest their communist government trying to keep religion out of their nation so they can keep telling people that the only authority in the world is their government.

Give people freedom you fucks

China only pretends to be Communist.

well yea, the people in power control every thing, under the guise of "protecting the people"

the issue with the monks is that they are a powerful political party over there, more than just a religion

[Sam_Adams]

China only pretends to be Communist.

They ARE communist. They only have certain desginated areas for their "free trade" to manufacture cheap shit and ship it out of country. The rest of the main land is pure communism. The only reason they set up those zones was to cash in on their supply of slave labor.

The government there controls all aspects of life for the Chinese people. That's communism.

It sucks that Britain gave Hong Kong back to them. It was the only decent part.

[stevethrower]

When my buddy in China last the only place he would drop the kids off at the pool, was at the hotel as they had western style toilets.

[Vyce]

Jesus Christ.

I just can't squat to shit, Wackbag. I refuse to. At this point, we've had at least 5,000 years of steadily progressing civilization, and it's given us many fantastic technological advances, one of them being the Western-style toilet.

I'm not squatting like a fucking animal.

[d0uche_n0zzle]

Squatting to shit is actually more 'normal' then sitting.

[Treat_Yourself]

Dude, the food over there is not like the Chinese food over here.

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/1864662/posts

Of course the Chinese government is saying the story was fake. Also the US olympic athletes will be bringing along their own food.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia-pacific/7256237.stm

Fuck China. The air is choked with fumes from burning cheap, impure coal, the water is full of industrial chemicals and sewerage, the food is often contaminated and the medicine is often counterfeit and potentially toxic like that batch of bad heparin that recently killed 19 Americans.

Yeah. China's hands have a lot of blood on them. Tibetans, Falun Gong practitioners, and the people being slaughtered in Darfur. On the bright side, they're doing their part to reduce the global population.

I'm not squatting like a fucking animal. Seriously, you'd think something as ubiquitous as taking a dump would've been standardized across the planet by now.

Here's how it is with "squat toilets"...

-In certain savage nations... i.e.- Thailand, Singapore, etc... if you're even a little bit off the beaten track... not in a major capitol city... it comes down to, "If you ain't squattin', you ain't shittin'." Because you just aren't going to find a civilized dumper no matter how hard you search. Even in some of the fancier hotels in the big cities, they'll still have squat toilets... with the concession to Western dumping style being the availability of one of those portable Johnny chairs you see in nursing homes... which you position over the squat toilet, sit on, and let 'er drop.

Here's another lovely thought... most of the squat terlits in those savage nations are communal and co-ed... so, if you're out in public, like in a bar, and the fish heads and rice you had for lunch are knocking at the door, and you've got no choice, you'll be squatting like a filthy hound in a public bathroom... blowing mud, and all of a sudden you'll look down at the bottom of the stall partition, and see a pair of high heel shoes, and they'll be a chick in the next stall squatting and dropping. Yeah... good times.

More fun facts... there is no water in the squat toilet bowl. If there were, a drop from high altitude would be a disaster... your shoes would be a write off. You drop it dry, and only when you flush does the water woosh down and do the removal job... so you can just imagine the smell of your high and dry dump as it sits there before the flush.

Also... when they say "squat" toilet... they don't mean a little hands-on-knees and kind of scooch down a little... no, we're talking deep knee bends, people. This is a maneuver that is tricky enough for a 90 pound little nip taking a quick and clean rice and tofu dump. Now... imagine the agony for your standard issue 300 pound American trying to push out 2 cheeseburgers, a large fries, a pound of potato salad, and a large bag of Funyuns. Yeah... forget baby fawn legs, we're talking Christopher Reeves legs.

I have evolved to sit on down to shit, like a fucking higher life form. You know who squats to shit? My dog. And I'm fucking better than him.

That's a matter of opinion, sir.

[Jef Leppard]

Dude, the food over there is not like the Chinese food over here.
yea. no shit. here is where im talkin about. i wouldnt fuck a girl over there either im sure shes as healthy as the food.

[gleet]

It's hard to read when you are poised to topple over into shit.

[Voss's Tumor]

The highlighted parts of that article sound a little like the Patriot Act to me. Does that make me a communist to disagree with my government? Wait, they're communist, wait... I'm fucking confused now.

I know, don't do anything wrong and who cares if they're listening, right?

:clap::clap: great fucking post...still laughing.

[Mabe]

I would love to go over there, drink a quart of half and half and let it rip over one of those savage toilets. A nice liquidly mist sprayed all over the wall. There you go assholes, clean that up.

lived in japan for 3 years and most of the public restrooms are like that. ones in malls though are regualr shitters.

NEVER dumped in a public restroom in a liberty port in the pacific theater, and our ship hit 'em all. thailand,singapore,sai-pan,kuala lumpur,shanghai,hong kong, india, sri-lanka,s. korea. and yes........SAVAGES!!!!!!!
i could only makes poopies in my hotel or on the ship
:clap::clap: great fucking post...still laughing.
yeah. esp the last paragraph.

[Three Hole Puncher]

Squatting to shit is actually more 'normal' then sitting. Ummm... oooo-kay.

Maybe it's just me. Maybe I'm the freak... but I've taken more "squat dumps" during the course of my travels in savage lands than I can count, and not a single one of those ordeals would I recall as having been "normal"...

uncomfortable, humiliating, acrobatic, downright painful, dangerous... yes, dangerous... like the one corn loaf I had to pinch off mid-dump because a huge, hairy spider crawled out of the dung hole and skittered over my foot... and I was wearing sandals at the time. :icon_eek:

Normal? No.

Squatting like some mangy mutt over a rusty pail set flush in the floor? Hovering your ass in the air like a Black Hawk fast-roping Rangers into the streets of Mogadishu? No, sir... I'm sorry, that's no job for a civilized buttocks, and there's nothing "normal" about such an operation.

[Vyce]

Not sure why you are comparing yourself to how your dog fucks, but to each their own, I guess.

Where'd you get that from my post? I was talking about shitting.

I'm mean, sure, sometimes a litte scatplay is fun for all involved, but it's not what I was talking about.

[d0uche_n0zzle]

What did mankind do before the modern toilet was invented? "whaa"

You popped a squat and dumped.

[gleet]

Right. And then we advanced as a civilization.

The Chinese are coming.
But maybe they'll conquer Japan first. The Japanese have the best in toilet technology, and the Chinese can avenge World War II at the same time.

[stillbornstew]

this is exactly what my terlet looked like back in yokosuka. LOVED it.
heated seat, and a built in bidet/air dryer for cleansing your undercarriage after a nice crunch. i really want to another one for the ole throne room when i finally get a house.

WOW! That just brought back a memory from either Korea or Thailand that I haven't thought about in ages. There weren't any partitions or stalls, just a row of holes. She was right next to me taking a piss. It was kinda "interesting".

It's hard to read when you are poised to topple over into shit.

Spoken like a true squid whose been around the block a couple of times. I also tried to made it back to the ship or hotel for a dump.
