Thank you! Oh how I wish I'd know that back then!

I stared at it for the longest time trying to decide which door to choose...the men's room had some other cryptic symbol that didn't look any more or less correct than this one. I chose this one as a wild guess...but I think maybe I was slightly influenced by the shape, since it tapered in like a woman's figure !!

MC - You're the best.

Alisa. Toilets in the Baltic were fine. As Julie recommended, bring the covers though, especially for Russia. We only came across ONE pay toilet in St. Petersburg. They took US $. (Really no surprise there.) The "guards" at that toilet were really, really mean though. Two older women who watched you like a hawk.....they could have been nuns from my old catholic school!

I brought toilet paper, but never needed it.
