    Before you decide what the standard should be in public toilets, visit Japan.

    I didn’t see a toilet in Tokyo that wasn’t spotless, and every single one of them also had a warm water bidet built in. Really, the entire city is spotless, not just the toilets. If a weed sprouts from a seam in the asphalt, a work crew will be there next day to scrape it out. The place is ridiculous.

    Seattle has a sort of dust-free, spotless quality to it because it rains 4 times a day. But Tokyo was the same and it hadn’t rained in weeks.
