Toiletology.

A nice example of the problems nations face that have gone from 'Camel to Ferrari' in under 10 Years.

I was always wondering why public toilets in train-stations, malls and other building in Europe are relatively clean and why in the Middle East toilets are amazingly dirty.

Lack of signage.

i remember we had similar problems in lay barges during my offshore deputation.in one of the barges, many western expats complained in the meeting that they wanted separate toilets as the seats became dirty by the shoes of the iranians who just cant use it the western way..

it was an iranian barge and thus the management finally separated the cubicles as 'east' and 'west'.

its just another difference in the ways of east and west..

Stone Cold,

I believe God/Jaweh/Allah has inspired humans to invent the toilet in order to flush the bogus Holy books that lead to diversity, hate and such evils.

For the same reason: Fire, nuclear bombs and anything destructive in between.

Is the sign there to teach 700 million indians in how to use the toilet properly?

Are we not orginated from monkeys as some people claimed, and some of the triats are just hard to discard off for some.

I wonder what the Bible , the torah or the Koran have to said about using the toilet properly?

The main problem is that the Western style toilet is not suitable for washing. They should stick to the Eastern toilets here ..

It is lack of understanding how you utilize the toilet properly...signage or not.

They just don't know how to properly use it until now. Maybe parents or schools never taught them of it.
