Robert -

For what it's worth, it isn't always easier for you guys. On our trip to Africa, we stopped at a "rest area" between parks. Waiting in line, a woman passed me and said "If anyone figures out which way to face, let me know." Well, by this time we're figuring these bathrooms are going to be a bit odd. Then, just as I enter the ladies room, I hear a guy over the divider between the ladies room and the mens room. "Just what are we supposed to do here, pee against the wall?" I asked Todd about it later. Apparently, as near as the guys could figure out, that was the urinal - the base of the wall. They were all quite put out about having to have a conversation in the men's room to figure it out. Apparently, that is NOT the done thing in a mens room. As Todd rather huffily informed me, "you keep your eyes forward and you do NOT converse with the man standing next to you." :)

At least we women had a hole in the ground. :D

All kidding aside, our Africa trip changed forever the way I look at public restrooms. I haven't complained about a US restroom in years!
