Look at the example he has to follow: "Is our children learning?" GW Bush

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.


Aren't sugar cane leaves fairly smooth?

ROTFLMAO!!!!

How the hell did this go from France to Italian toilets?

LOL!!!

Later,

It's Europe. And France has similar toilet conditions. Except for the
public self cleaning, cost money variety.

Free, clean restroom. Europe may be high on your list, but

toilets in
Europe leave a lot to be desired! snip


Try Korean toilets for a real treat!


My experience in Korea was similar to Thailand and Saudi. Public
toilets were ... well ... about as bad as some here in the states.
Particularly fun in the evening as many had no lighting inside... don't
slip. :o

We went on a local holiday train ride over the weekend and rode in a
passenger car that was probably 50 or 60 years old. No restroom. I
was telling my b.i.l that it reminded of the train I took from Korat to
Bangkok in 1994 - only that train had restrooms. Of course if you
looked into the bowl, you saw the ties passing below.

Be very happy that there was no toilet. I made the mistake of entering
a toilet on a bus. The normal Korean toilet is a hole in the floor, so
the people are used to squatting - not sitting on the seat. Well, in
the bus they climbed up on the toilet and squatted. Many had very poor
aim. Enough said. (Probably way too much!)
