i have a habit of half-consciously rating places based solely on their bathrooms. points are scored for decor, cleanliness, odour (preferrably, a lack thereof), stalls, taps, toilets, hand dryers vs paper towels and, most importantly, toilet paper.
so far, the most enjoyable washroom experience i’ve encountered was in chicago’s o’hare airport. ten-foot brushed steel stalls whose walls reached to within an inch of the tiled floor (eliminating peekers or small children crawling under — as once happened to me in a chinese restaurant). two-ply toilet tissue (the true measure of quality) on a roll which dispensed with generous ease. automated plastic seat-covers which refreshed themselves in concert with the motion sensor flush. i think that airport ruined me for all but the most decadent lavatories constructed.
then there is whole subject of bidets, which i will save for a later time.

    I never have used a bidets and I would be a little afraid to.

    public bathrooms should have devices to chain up curious wandering children so they don’t go peaking under stalls. something with manacles..

    I think all public areas should have those devices for children. *giggle*
