Pamela,

You got the 'good' foreign country...I got Paris with Turkish toilets, no lights, no water in the bathroom and disgusting floors...the 1st 15yrs were hell...things have improved somewhat over the last 10 yrs...people are getting sinks in their powder rooms although it is still quite rare...I have to discretely go into the 'bathroom' that doesn't have a toilet, fill a bottle with water and then slip into the toilet room to intubate and then back into the bathroom to rinse...most people don't ask questions but sometimes it is complicated especially when I am at a stranger's house...or the in-laws...

I have been apartment shopping this last week and having a heck of a time finding a place that is pouch-friendly...in the older buildings (pre-2000) and even then, most don't have running water in the toilet room, none have the toilet in the bathroom, and if the building is pre-1960 the bathroom is next to the kitchen and you have to get water or wash your hands from the sink (try explaining that to the hostess when you are visiting!)...I keep looking for a bathroom that fits...not easy...

Sharon
