Actually I think Mexico has better toilets. Italy has either holes in
the
floor like Japan or no toilet seat.

Not true in Rome, Florence, Naples, or Milan (in my experience). Maybe I
just
patronize better hotels, bars, and restaurants?? :-)

Now toilet paper, that's another matter.
On several occassions, my wife would enter a Women's restroom to find some
old
gypsy woman had commandeered every roll of TP in the joint. She would
gladly
reel out several inches of her hoard in exchange for a suitable tip. Very
enterprising.



A friend of mine who travelled to Cuba said that if a woman (usually a
tourist) entered a lady's room with her own roll of toilet paper, she'd be
made a saint immediately, assuming she shared some. Poor Fidel. Guns, but
not enough toilet paper.
