There is nothing wrong when it takes you a long time to go pee. It may take because you might of drank to much.
EDIT: This is not necessarily true. One of my good friends used to take, literally, a few minutes (approx. 4 minutes) everytime he went pee. After one of my friends calculated the average time spent per pee multiplied by the average number of times he peed per day, he realized he was losing a few years extra of his life peeing (after subtracting the average time spent peeing.) He went to the doctor and discovered he had scarring on his bladder, which was assumed due to inflicted trauma over time. He had to have surgery to remove the scarring and a catheter for some period of time. It proved to be a painful process.

How many kinds of urine are there?
Urine is one of a kind-- there are no separate "kinds" of urine. However, the color of urine may be different depending on a number of factors. Normally, urine is the color of straw, e.g. a very light yellow. In the morning, it can be darker because it is more concentrated. As you drink fluids throughout the day, urine gets lighter again.
Urine should also be clear. Cloudy urine or blood in the urine often means a urinary tract infection (UTI). Blood can also be from menstruation for girls and women.
Urine normally has a slight odor. Urine that smells really awful often means an infection.
Urine that has a sheen of an oily substance often means the person's diet is high in fats and that possibly, their gallbladder is not breaking down fats in foods.
So basically, you should be able to see through your urine. If you imagine a piece of newspaper in the toilet (---do NOT do this because it will clog the pipes!---), you should be able to read typed letters through your light colored urine.
