I know that many gastroenterologists will tell you that it's a bad habit - anything that keeps you on the toilet for more than 10 minutes or so is a no-no. Even people with great diets, plenty of fiber, etc will end up with hemorrhoids if they let gravity do its thing to their bottoms for too long.
(I genuinely cannot believe I just typed the word 'hemorrhoids' on PS...)

Just cause your sitting doesn't mean you're sh!tting.
There's no harm in sitting after you've completed your business if you are absorbed in what you're reading.

Oh yeah, I still remember my first squat toilet experience...
Make sure you bring TP of your own too, unless you're keen to clean up the native way.
I've been told the truly most challenging squat toilet experience in the world is on a cross county Chinese train. Continual motion, in a room too big to have a wall to balance yourself with, and the 'toilet' is a hole in the floor.
