Train toilets

For any females worried about the state of train toilets look up'shee-wee' or she-pees in your internet - offer a solution and enable one to use the loo without touching the seat. They're not expensive and i'm certainly going to take one on my next trip.

I used a similar thing in Vietnam and it made going to the "Happy House" (as they called it) much easier.

Make sure you try it out before you leave--I did, and I laughed so hard that I missed the toilet and hit my shoe. By the time I got to Vietnam I was over the giggles.

In trains the indian loo ( the squat type ) is always cleaner than the western ( sit on it ) type.

U get practice to use the indian loo type, before u come to india.
