Message: [QUOTE="motometal, post: 223087, member: 24727"] Sorry for generalizing too much, I could have probably been a bit more detailed or accurate consulting with my wife first, she spent 3 weeks in europe this summer and covered many countries. Very true about the air quality, in the cities or spain anyway. Burger king serves beer with their combo meals, but it was smokier than most bars I have visited, and I was compelled to get it "to go". They need help on emissions in europe, but my point was that at least they aren't beating up on the little guy like we are. When I got off the plane in Minnesota, I did notice the air was great, in comparison. The toilets...inquiring minds want to know, so, well, i'll try to use as much tact as possible here...lessee... 1. The have these things called biddaes. I'm sure that's not how to spell it, but anyway it is like a toilet without a lid to sit on, with a plug to go in the drain. Many Americans think it is for washing the hind side, but I have been told it is for the "other" side (women use it). However, when I asked about it everyone played it off like they weren't used much anymore BUT I went into some newer motels that had them. Interesting. 2. The (regular) toilets don't hold near as much water in the bowl as ours, to conserve water. Those of you with RVs know what I mean about the "racing stripe syndrome". It is customary to use the brush, which is normally kept nearby, to remedy the situation. By the way, they think it is totally bizarre that we have toilets with all that water in the bowl.:uh: [/QUOTE]
