The Land of Clean Public Toilets


The Maoris’ called New Zealand the “Land of the Long White Cloud” and now while there are still long white clouds visible here and there, I think they should think about changing it to the “Land of the Amazingly Clean Public Toilets”. This would also be a good slogan for there tourist board to use, it would pull in millions of tourists who are sick of taking vacations to destinations with disgusting public toilets. I have never been in so many clean public facilities. All of the ones I visited had both toilet papers and locking doors; they were also generally up to a better standard then my last five places of employment. Amazing. The “Hunderwasser Toilet” is even a tourist draw and is the only public toilet I have ever taken a photo in.
Another previously unimagined facet of my trip was the general lack of crazy people roaming the streets. I counted six on my trip. Two of those were confirmed crazy as they could be witnessed shouting random things or singing and grunting to themselves on the side of the road. The other four just had big beards and tended to wear army jackets. Confirmation of crazy was impossible as maybe they were just trying to cover up their weak chins and like the color green.
More shocking was that I only spotted one potential serial killer as a hot water stream/swimming area. He fit the classic strange man lurking alone at family swimming area. That was also unusual considering on a normal day going to work I see about three or four.

Also, why did the serial killer disappear but then miraculously appear in front of me just as I was getting changed. And because he was slightly uphill from me, his groin was level with my face. I nearly died that day.
