On my first visit to Europe in the early 1990's, I discovered that the general conditions in several countries could be related to a standard fixture in public restrooms. In Paris, the toilet was complete. In Germany, the seat was missing. And in Romania, the entire fixture was missing and there was just a hole in the floor. Public restrooms in Prague had complete fixtures, but were strictly "pay as you go" (no pun intended) and you were furnished with a very few sheets of tissue.
