Day 14 B: Reflection on Water Closets ("WC")



When you get older, toilets(WC as they call them in Europe and Asia) get a little more important in your life.  The countries we visited seem to place little emphasis on public restrooms.  Some of the interesting issues:
1.      Many public toilets are pay toilets at .50 Euros (or .65 USD).
2.      Many public toilets have no toilet seats (Men’s or Women’s).
3.      Tour buses stop at public restrooms and at many locations there are only one or at the most two toilets for women.  Women have to be willing to use men’s toilets at some stops.  (We almost lost Ann at one of the stops…Ann will not let me tell any more.)
4.      Twice on this trip I looked up in the men’s room and there was a female mopping the floor.
5.      On a recent trip to Amsterdam, the urinals were right out on the sidewalk…at least you did not have to pay…you would have to pay me to use one.

That is all I know on this issue.
