My reaction precisely. But pissing on the seats still happens in gender segregated toilets ( *and* I am 'pissed off' about it). Sought out the pissing and surely no arguments against can remain.

About 14 years ago I used to teach literacy in a jail. Lots of need for this, as a huge chunk of the Australian prison population has poor or low literacy. Very very hard for people with low literacy to stay Centrelink (name of the government agency handing out the dole here) compliant, as most communications about payments and impending penalties are written - then it was letters, it's probably email now. So the young men I used to teach would do break and enters as it was easier. Hard to find work with low literacy. Back then each inmate cost the government $70,000 p.a. to keep in jail - it's probably more now.

What shitty bad news. I've got all my fingers toes and appendages crossed. Would a blanket help? I'm a crochet fiend.

Your shiny new friend misses you, Emma. Thank you for writing so well about our trip, I loved reading it.
