You have to pay money to use some of the restrooms! Bad luck if you have no coins and we didn't, as we had just stepped off a plane from Sydney!

"We found that out while in London UK, last Christmas. You have to pay money to use some of the restrooms!" When visiting Hong Kong we were told to keep tissue handy because it's not uncommon for public restrooms to not provide toilet paper.
