'Toilet revolution' must flush away bad memories

Travel should be a process of making sweet memories.

Jeniffer Smith and her husband, a couple in their 60s from Australia who encountered an unpleasant experience when answering the call of nature during their trip to China a decade ago, were impressed by the changes in public toilets during a recent visit.

"We were surprised and happy to find that toilets in tourist resorts have become clean, supplied with toilet paper and hand-washing lotion. It is nice to see some of the toilets were designed and built with beautiful Chinese architectural styles."
