TOILET STORIES

          On my first trip to England, I was mesmerized by the fact that a toilet at a local has a string where you pull from overhead in order to flush. I’m sure every traveler has his or her own great stories on toilets. Foreign toilets and be fascinating or traumatic, but they can add highlights to your experience. Once you step away from the international typed hotels and venture into the streets and use local toilets, your senses may be greatly heightened.

          Toilet paper may not be an essential item in some cultures. Let’s not get too graphic, but here’s a cultural tip: millions of people in south Asia do not eat with their left hand for a good reason. Some countries like Turkey do not have good plumbing system and toilet paper tend to get clogged. So if you see a trashcan in the stall full of toilet papers, leave yours there as well. It’s also a good idea to carry your own toilet paper while traveling. In some places, it just may not be readily available.
