At one event, a senior lecturer who had spent a couple of months on a scholarly visit to several American universities commented on how we should have free access to any public facilities, one of which is the restroom. In Indonesia, for instance, we have to pay Rp. 1000 (back in 2006. I frankly have no clue how much we should pay to use restrooms now), or around 10 cents, per restroom visit in most of public spaces. To the lecturer, it showed how hopelessly inept the government is in providing freely accessible facilities for its people. She stressed that such won't be the case in any developed countries like America.
