[quote=LONELYJOURNEY,510666]Another scene foreigner might witness is that there is always a long queue in front of the women’s toilets. It’s said that China has more men than women in population and that many men might not find a wife in the future. But why do we always see girls queue up for the toilets? The planners build as many women’s toilets as men’s. If you observe the public toilets carefully, you will find out that the public toilets for women and men are usually built next to each other but separated.

The biggest mistake the planners have made is that they forget women need more time than men in the toilets. That’s why some pioneers in China launch a campaign “Occupy Men’s Toilets”. They aim to remind the city planners of building more toilets for women. Some big shopping malls have started to make changes. The toilets for men and women are built on different floors. Some city planners have realized their mistake. Therefore, unisex toilets appear in some cities too.

It’s said that women’s toilets are dirtier than men’s. Girls are afraid of using toilet bowls in public toilets because they are worried about getting infected with bacteria. Therefore, they keep a distance from the toilet seat cover. It’s like shooting a basket. It’s more difficult to shoot a 3 point shot than a 1 point shot. In fact, some girls have their own solution. They bring their own toilet seat covers.

Someone once said “the toilet to some extent can tell whether a country is developed or not.” I fully agree with him. The developed countries have clean and comfortable toilets. What about China? Its economy develops so fast. However, it has a long way to go to become a developed country. Perhaps, China will become a developed country when the public toilets become as clean and comfortable as those in the developed countries.
