In many countries, people don't bathe as frequently as we do, often due to the fact that water is really expensive elsewhere. Using a bidet is a good way to clean what gets stinky fastest.
I knew of a hotel in which the woman used the bidet as a toilet, left a mess, left the water running to "flush it all down" and went out for several HOURS, the room was flooded as were the rooms of several floors below. Know what the hotel did? Comped the rest of her stay and apologized for the inconvenience of having to move her to a (better) room. Now THAT's customer service.
When you read travel books you often hear of Americans who don't know what the bidet is about so use it to store food. Yummers.

What I've seen so far they are like attachments that go on top of your existing toilet, in place of the original seat. I guess elsewhere they must be stand alone items. I know several people who are so obese, (that's fat in my circles), that I wonder how they can wipe themselves so one of these would be a big service to them. If they really get you cleaner I would be interested too but the prices I've seen plus the cost of installation seems prohibitive.
I want the name of this hotel!!! I can screw up a bidet as well as the next person.

The jig may be up, however, when they find all my belongings in waterproof bags on top of the bed.

In India, many public washrooms just have a hole in the floor with a cistern of water and a jug beside the hole. Depending on the type of place you're in, towards the end of the day, the cistern may be out of water.
Couple that with eating chickpea vindaloo for lunch and dinner and you have a recipe for disaster. 8O

You might want to scratch California off too. You never know what you'll find in the toilets there. Alligators come to mind.

Hey PH, I hate to whittle down your tour list even further but I used that type of toilet in Italy and much of southeren Europe. A bit more evolved. They have two porcelain foot holders above, uh, the hole in what looks like a shower stall. They also flush with a button but the flush is pretty strong, so hit it and jump, be sure your pants are up first, too!!
And then try it after downing a bottle of chianti!

You beat me to it, I was going to offer that Poland has a hole with foot holders.
My parents have a bidet in their master bath. They have only used it to bathe grandbabies. The eccentric couple who built their house put it in. The water pressure is kind of low (you can't hit the ceiling, I tried). The water is cold. I don't know what you use to dry. I assumed a towel based on the towel rack the old people put in next to it.

I'm thinking a bidet could solve the seat-up/down controversy.
