The most interesting foreign bathroom I visited was in the Hermitage in St. Petersburg. There were women in the men's room, who fled giggling when I entered. (I think the Ladies Room was out of order.) Needless to say, I chose a stall. There, in the second largest art museum in the world (second only to the Louvre), in the former residence of the czars, was a little basket next to each toilet, holding a neat stack of newspaper cut into uniform strips.
