Munich central train station toilet had donations when I was there in 2012. Money went to charity. It was so clean though that I sat in the cubicle longer than usual before heading out into the hustle and bustle of the streets.

But public and restaurant toilets in general were cleaner in Germany. It was not unusual to see a toilet brush in the cubicle for you to clean your own shit up. Much more civilised than Australia.

I also didn't see out of control drunks on Saturday nights like we get in Australia, despite alcohol being really cheap and available from your corner store where you buy milk and bread. They would often have a couple of seats outside the store for you to chill and drink.

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.
