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

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.

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!)
