Point of comparison

I'm not writing this to glorify a place and put down another. Been to Yamaguchi Ken and I noticed that the toilet in the vicinity of the train station had no toilet paper. It's not that they ran out of papers. There was really no provision at all. Good thing I always bring pocket tissues. Yet, surprisingly, the comfort room's cubicles are very clean. No wondering urine or what nots, no cigarette butts, nor used disposable pregnancy kits, nor wrappers of comfort foods nor chewing gums. In my place in Aichi, the next station after the one near us is nice if only for the little flower vase with real, fresh flowers. Ditto for whoever is trying to maintain it. That toilet is well provided with toilet papers yet the urine, even specks of feces which most of the times aren't just specks at all, the used toilet papers which could just be thrown inside the bowl and flushed and sometimes the used pantyliner which could be accommodated in the not so full mini trash cans which every cubicle is well provided, are all great annoyances. Could it be that the discipline inside the military camp spill over to the whole of the community? I just wonder.bouquet

It is very good that toilets are anywhere. At us in Kazakhstan only only appeared in big models, and so on the street except at stations they absolutely aren't present, and it wishes to have more better. It was pleasant to me in the Czech Republic, there is everywhere, even at gas stations and at the top level. The culture and civilization begin from a toilet and a bath. I when begin building first of all I build a toilet, and then I begin the main building. Thanks, good subject.hug handshake
@Ummka, in my home country, there are public toilets that require a certain fee for its use and they are well maintained since there's somebody present always to receive the fees. I happened to work in one semi government entity in my home country and I adore their comfort rooms. Those are a real comfort. With pipe in music and centralized air conditioning and sooo clean, you can even have a snack in there without puking as it was very wide and there's a foyer like in its entrance. My blog isn't really about toilets per se but about the discipline some people in some places have. But just like you, if I'm going to have my own building, I'd put priority to the comfort rooms too.hug bouquet
I always thought that a certain discipline in using and/or maintaining such places as bathrooms, restrooms and toilets tells much more about a particular person or the country in whole, than they could ever thought it can do.
Ummka, u reminded me bout my home country, there they dont have any toilets for public reach at gas stations, shops, markets, unless u are their client and are granted this type of priviledges... really?...natural needs, do they depend on the size of ur pocket?laugh
@Aisha, so very true. The character of the person shows through in using public utilities. I'm not that tidy but I see to it that both the kitchen and the comfort rooms are clean. Had worked as a hotel maid before and I've observed that people who looks like well-bred/well-mannered left their comfort rooms or their whole rooms not in total disarray. I'm lucky to be here in Japan as almost all train stations have comfort rooms. At times, a high tech toilet seat at that. Problem is, some users don't try to maintain its cleanliness even provisions are already there.roll eyes
