Where to find the best and worst bathrooms
Catherine recently told us about a handy cell-phone service that will help you find the best bathroom in west London. My first thought was, It would be nice if they had something like that in North America, but as it turns out, they do. MizPee can tell you where the nearest clean bathrooms are when you use it on your cell phone, as Justin told us a few months ago. But you know what else MizPee does? It allows you to rate the bathroom -- they have a Honor Roll for the best and a Wall of Shame for the worst. Best bathrooms include those at the Time Warner Center and Apple Store in Manhattan, and the worst can be found at Starbucks in Union Square West and the Staten Island Ferry Terminal.
My vote for the worst bathroom goes to the ones in LAX. I have never been to a decent one while traveling through that airport.

You haven't been to a terrible restroom until you go to Northern China. It's a cement block, open roofed cube with a certuries old trough going threw the center. No paper, no water, no privacy. Just straddle and go! Now that's bad. And yes, this was in 2006.

I dunno... I lost a few layers of inner-nose skin on my recent trip to India. Public bathrooms - beware!

Third world countries are the worst...I lived in the Philippines, and theirs were just a hole in a cement floor you had to squat over. No TP, no water, nada. The smell was wretched!!!
