I also loved the fact that they had little toilets/sinks and urinals for the young children and that they put pictures of the type of toilet on each stall so that you could use the stall with the type of toilet of your choice and the washrooms we always very clean.<br />Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-10100258344428029322015-08-29T15:31:51.966-04:002015-08-29T15:31:51.966-04:00Yes, ideally having our motorhome available to us ...Yes, ideally having our motorhome available to us is a plus but when we are backpacking through other countries you don't have that option.

The other thing about squat toilets is that your hands never touch the toilet so less in the way of germs, you just want to make sure your aim is good. ;-)Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-17204385014910773702015-08-29T15:26:06.995-04:002015-08-29T15:26:06.995-04:00These washrooms/toilets were clean, they were just...These washrooms/toilets were clean, they were just different.
