The Price to Pee!

If you have traveled internationally, this does not come as a surprise to you, but in many of the places on our trip we had to shell out some significant cash in order to pee! The most we spent was one euro – that, my dear readers is $1.50 on a good day – usually it was $1.60 (depending on the value of the dollar that day)! That is a pretty hefty price to pay for a mundane, yet necessary and certainly repetitive activity every day! Granted, one euro was not the norm; the lowest cost was around 20 euro cents which in the 1.5-1.6 conversion was 30 American cents… Typically it was 50 euro cents, which is at least 75 American cents… Now I don’t know about your perspective, but that is pretty pricey in my book. If I had the foresight and realized the overall impact of these costs, I would have kept track so that I could know the total dollar amount of what it cost to pee in Europe! Maybe someone has already written a book on this subject….

The most I've ever paid is 2 swiss francs - at the Zurich Main Train Station! Hey, if you gotta go, you gotta go!
