Kathie the inconvenience of the toilets is far, far, outweighed by the wonder and mystery of Asia.
If you can imagine a gender slant on everything, then Japan, China are masculine in their order and precision...move west and as you do things soften and flow ending in India the ultimate of femininity. It is strange but the attitude really does change like that. Another influence is north to south. It is an awesome part of the world!!!
Yes HB I did go to that one and what a relief it was. You know what I don't remember doors on the stalls in the ones I posted pictures of...do you remember doors?
No odor and clean in areas of tourism. How? Manpower tons of it. Get farther out and/or into the warmer countries and the cleanliness decreases.
l2ridehd, you are right about the TP it was in 2002 a rare find. I came prepared with a big 12 roll package of TP. I figured it was a space holder for all the stuff I would buy and as we used it, it did make room for the "stuff" in the luggage. Unfortunately, we couldn't use the TP fast enough to keep up with the "stuff" we/I bought. Hmmm I think I like shopping on vacation. We began shipping things home another story in itself.
I would not bring TP with me anymore, but I do think it prudent to buy a Costco type packaging of pocket sized Kleenix. Very convenient to grab one of those and slip it into you pocket.
In all fairness this is also a Chinese public bathroom. It just depends on where you go.
