Just Wondering

Why is there a cup dispenser in every water closet I see? I can understand that the water here is portable, even in the toilets. It's just like back home. But disposable cups? What are these used for? Drinking? Er... Force of habit but not until I boil the water. Then again, I haven't seen any water coolers, so those cups could be for everyone to use for drinking. Are they?

Why are the windows in the bathrooms so big? Look at them!


My bathroom windows span almost the entire width and at least two-thirds of the wall! Oh come on. When I stand, the bottom of the window is lower than my hips. Heck, it's somewhere between my hips and the middle of my thighs. How low can that be? And this doesn't seem to only apply to my bathroom. I've heard two Germans, and Lucy (the Australian) commenting on this as well. Why do they have such big windows in the bathrooms? I mean if the buildings are far apart, and you live in a penthouse, above everyone else, and you want a view, by all means, go ahead. But pigeons like us? Good thing the blinds provide some privacy.

But who am I to complain. I've seen some action (hips up) in the building across my room once when they forgot to close the blinds. *grin* Boys and girls, always remember to draw your curtains or blinds.
