I'd rather focus on something closer to home for this diabetic-what do you do if you are downtown and you need to pee? Anywhere in the world? In San Francisco, it can be quite a challenge.and one time my wife and I arrived in Cleveland by bus early on a Sunday, walked to the Hotel Cleveland to get some breakfast, and were refused their toilets! We literally could not find a place in that city to piss! So we left, not to return for many years. IN China, it's pretty easy, public bathrooms are in lots of places. You have to pay about .04 cents to use them and often they are pretty gamy, but there they are. AMericans are quite private when they have a poop away from home, but Chinese are friendly and chatty. Oh, yeah, better bring your own toilet paper too, 'cause your not going to find it here. What about where you live? This is one of my standards of a liveable place. What I lke about the U.S. are public libraries, and thrift stores and more varieties of food. And my frienda and family, of course. I don't know if U.S. politicians are any worse than any place else I've traveled too, and that is not a compliment! Seth
