Bourdain....

Spike posted on Anthony Bourdain, a food TV personality that can be seen on Wednesday nights, I think, on one of the many Discovery channels. Spike links the Washington Post interview and it can be found here, on his recent trip to Beirut.

Bourdain is always entertaining and I laughed out loud at what I thought was his funniest quote:

New York, N.Y.: Which county that you have visited has the best and worst bathrooms? Why?

Anthony Bourdain: The best bathrooms, Japan, far and away. Worst bathrooms, if you can call them that? Uzbekistan. Toilets in Uzbekistan make the one in Trainspotting look like an operating room.

Recently, I had a conversation with someone where we used the Trainspotting toilet as the benchmark for bad bathrooms in China.
