Blogging about a Bathroom

As per our plan, we spent the good part of today in Changi Airport.  The airport does have the aforementioned luxuries available to its passersby-- a free movie theater, gym, amusement park, internet access, animal exhibits, free two hour city tours, etc.  Unfortunately, these amenities are for every airline but our own, the local budget airline that will take us to Hanoi, Vietnam later today.

What we do have access to, however, is the bathroom, which is equally impressive as everything else in this country.  I have been in hundreds of public bathrooms in my life, but never before have I seen one as clean as this one.  Singapore is the cleanest country in the world, and they assure of you this before you even leave the airport.

There are flies engraved in each urinal, a form of soft paternalism intended to improve users aim and prevent spillage.

More importantly, they use squat toilets, which are fully equipped with water hoses, soap, and auto-sensors.

Impossibly clean... how can anyone have aim this good?

And of course, the touch screen exit survey...

Full Singapore recap coming up...
