Traveling the world: One gets to use countless public toilets when traveling the world. The good thing is, one gets to see and experience the world with her own eyes. The bad thing is, one can catch almost anything and everything from public restrooms. Hand-washing (thoroughly) with water should be adequate, but carrying alcohol hand-gel during travels will add a layer of safety. Luck plays a part, too.
