News, but not the serious kind
Tell the back row to pass the toilet paper!
Blog Guy, you give great travel advice. I would love to go overseas, but I’ve always been worried about, well, you know…
The bathroom situation? You’re not alone. A new poll shows Americans list their top five foreign travel concerns as:
1. can’t find bathrooms
2. dirty ladies’ rooms
3. dirty men’s rooms
4. having my kidney taken out while I sleep
5. rough, splintery toilet paper
But those days are gone in most destinations. Look at this brand-new public facility in Lebanon. Clean, no waiting. Of course, they do still have a little work to do on the privacy angle, and lighting would help at night.
