Travel With Locals and You Might Learn a Thing or Two
Dave, on the toilet paper note: A buddy of mine was backpacking through rural Greece in the '90s, where toilet paper was not common. He happened to have a paperback book with him that he was reading, and he got into the habit of using the already-read pages as toilet paper.
I recently stayed with a friend in Northern Italy, he has a Bidet next to the toilet. I started to use this for a few days and realized it does a much better job than paper. Also, you can sit on the toilet and wash your feet in it and i'm sure there is plenty of other uses I haven't heard of.
Haha i'll remember the book-method in case I need a plan B. Just some simple water does the cleaning job. Defenitly feels weird in the beginning, you will get used to it. Or well you have to...
