While on my RTW, I came across many of the same situations. beijing was the worst, not because they didn’t have plenty of public toilets, but because they were so disgusting that it was hard to go into them! Thanks for sharing!

I call it long distance bus paranoia! I remember nearly wetting myself on a Malaysian long-distance bus! I was happy to go on the side of the road but as I wasn’t a guy this apparently wasn’t acceptable so I sat on the stairs next to the bus driver praying we would make it in time to the road stop, when the doors opened I flew out! Afterwards many of the Malaysian passengers wanted pictures with me, one for the family album “This is the foreign girl who nearly pissed her pants on the bus to KL!”.

Try traveling while you’re pregnant! HORRIBLE! It’s VERY hard to enjoy the scenery when all you can focus on is where the next bathroom might be! (It goes without saying that simply not drinking isn’t an option at that point!)

I hope Ryanair don’t go down that route. It’s not the €1 charge that would worry me as much as the reduction to one only lavatory.

I never thought it would get this painful. The movement to charge us for bodily function has begun: hold on tight!

Are they taking the pee? http://tinyurl.com/ygwqeff

It’s a topic which isn’t given much coverage but is so essential to enjoyable trips.

I can totally sympathize. My cry when travelling is always “I need to pee”. I am actually a proponent of the not peeing unless you have to movement because I think the reason my bladder is so small is because my mum always made me pee whenever there was an opportunity. So I think my bladder isn’t as stretchy as it should be. I don’t drink coffee before a long trip (or a movie in fact) either! I have to pee all the time! In fact I have to pee right now! Bye!
