Ok, I've decided there is no classy way to discuss this next topic, but it is one that definitely needs to be discussed. There have been several occasions in which I have needed to go to the ladies room to tinkle, only to walk in and see a hole in the floor. Let me introduce you to the Turkish Toilet.
What in the world am I supposed to do with this?
I'm dumbfounded that we're in the 21st century and the simple comfort of a normal toilet with seat covers and automatic flush isn't standard everywhere. They don't even have handrails for you to balance yourself with.
Needless to say, I have not used one of these, and I will continue to go without using one unless it is the most extreme emergency. I have already walked many blocks to find a place with a normal restroom. Call me high maintenance. I know we're extremely lucky to be living in a country that most people only dream of visiting, and that I'm going to need to make a few adjustments, but this just isn't one of them. In fact, this is just one more reason I'm convinced that America is the best country in the world: normal toilets...and the fact that we have ice in our drinks.
