The Idiot's Guide to Japanese Squat Toilets

Chef Jun Yoshizuki and his wife Rachel (previously at Neatorama) give us westerners some tips about confronting squat toilets, which are found all over Asia. Watch as Rachel suffers from STSD- Squat Toilet Stress Disorder. This does not have to be you! A little knowledge ahead of time will help you avoid falling in, losing your phone and money in the toilet, peeing all over the floor, or injuring yourself.

A more interesting question/comment about this is its strength. Aerogels are quite strong, and have a number of other outstanding properties such as their utility as an insulator. It looks like this material (or "structure", since it seems to me more akin to miniaturized scaffolding) has a completely different set of pros and cons than aerogel so it greatly increases our palette of options when it comes to ultralite construction -- quite useful for aerospace and many other industries...
