  • A QUICK LOOK AT THE BATHROO...
    Beyer, Suzanne G

    Etc., 01/2022, Volume: 79, Issue: 1-2
    Journal Article

    If you're a man and need to relieve yourself quickly, Bruges, Belgium is your place. Simply walk into the town square and look behind a low wall. There they are. Four urinals! Just try not to notice, from the side of the urinal structure, everyone can see you! Beyer's first encounter with a public toilette was in an Amsterdam restaurant. She saw the toilette sign and headed that way. She encountered a turn-style and noticed a coin machine on her right that required the European equivalent of $0.25. Once inside, to her surprise, a man exited one of the stalls and politely held the door open. She shyly said, "Merci, Monsieur." She had just learned had initial toilette lesson--be prepared with coins and expect the unexpected!
