Public ones -if you can find any -tend not to be too bad, since they almost always have a caretaker, who'll give you some toilet paper if there isn't any visible. Fifty fils is a normal tip Quite often you get a choice between hole-in-the- ground squat toilets and Western-style sit-down ones. Whichever you use, you should never put used paper down the hole, since it's likely to block the pipes; instead, drop it in the omnipresent little basket. A working toilet will always also have a working tap and a plastic jug, since the local way is to wash yourself clean using your left hand (there are no guidelines about drying off after wards) Squat toilets almost never flush; instead, empty a jug or two down the hole. |
