Mopping the Street




Here's a short little blip about Chinese cleaning habits. I couldn't even begin to describe the filth in Shanghai. Public bathrooms are atrocious! They don't believe in putting used toilet paper in the toilet, because they don't want to stop up the plumbing. So, they put all used toilet paper in an open trashcan next to the toilet. It doesn't matter whether you have done Number 1 or Number 2, all paper goes in the trashcan. This, of course, it so completely unacceptable that I cannot even put into words the feeling one gets in a public bathroom. Having said that, a few weeks ago I witnessed a worker mopping THE STREET! I was so completely amazed that I had to take a picture for proof.
