desperate for money(by:Eli @_@ P.S i wrote the buckeye one too ^-^ )

    So my family, and I were at the train station in Amsterdam, my dad had to use the bathroom. We all go to the nearest bathroom, and it turns out you have to pay ,50 euros to use it (,50 euros is 50 cents in American money.) My dad sadly did not have ,50 euros only 1 euro. he put the 1 euro in the little machine thingy, and luckily it gave him change. I questioned it greatly, and my mom said, "honey we are in a different country it is how it works here." And i say, "mom, why pay to use the bathroom... WHEN YOU CAN JUST TINKLE AT HOME FOR FREE!!!!" So there was no response there, but see I think some how with all the people riding trains the train station is still desperate enough to ask for money when using the bathroom.

    This could create a whole sub-division of panhandlers in and of itself. Very desperate and determined panhandlers!!

    You can pee for free here, but I still remember fondly the cleanliness of most of the bathrooms we used in Europe. Austria's the only country where public bathrooms smelled like B&Bs in the U.S.

    I seem to recall that a bathroom break in Bangkok was a penny or two....granted, it cost a couple thousand dollars just to get to Thailand, so you might factor that in your total bathroom break cost. It's even cheaper if you walk into the big international hotels and look like you belong there. Silver hair helps with the illusion of importance. (rctuss).
