But I&#039;ve seen them in places, and I guess if that&#039;s what it takes to have a clean and well serviced restroom, it&#039;s worth a coin or two.&nbsp; I just shudder to think of needing to go and not having the necessary change, or where that change has subsequently been!</p><p><br /></p><p>Side note, at risk of oversharing: we encountered our first <i>squat</i> toilets in Tanzania.&nbsp; For those who have never been outside the States, let me paint the picture for you.&nbsp; Imagine you go into the restroom and there&#039;s nothing there but a hole in the floor.&nbsp; No stalls.&nbsp; No toilets.&nbsp; Just a dark, dank hole in the floor.&nbsp; Try not to breathe through your nose, OK?&nbsp; Oh, and watch out for your pants legs if the floor is wet.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
