"I've got to go! Where are the restrooms?”
-- Michael Patrei, Producer
" I find it intriguing that in Japan you can find a public restroom in bar districts, tourist attractions, beaches, etc….but when in America, I often have to buy a pack of gum or a cup of coffee to go to the restroom. I have to carry a big stick with key or I have to get a special token to go and do natures work."
