Watching the crowd of protesters in the square in Cairo on the news last night my wife said "what happens when they need the toilet?" A good question and one that bears thinking about. Any ideas?

From what I have read about Cairo it will make no difference as good hygiene is virtually non existent !

I thought that myself dd. I have passed through Port Said and Suez in canal transit many years ago and they both smelt like open sewers. Just wondered if things had improved.

Toilet facilities are probably the last thing on the mind of the thousands of brave souls who are seeking to overthrow a 30 year despotic regime.



However, I'm sure they appreciate your concern.

It may be the last thing on their minds when they go there cronos, but as the saying goes--you gotta go-you gotta go!
