the bathrooms here, um, leave something to be desired. the shower is about 36 inches wide, with a little changing room between the curtain and the shower itself. i'm 5'9 and i have a hard time moving around in there; i have no idea how the bigger guys and girls get it done.
but the craziest thing i've seen here in Cairo is the, um, "added bonus" one gets with each toilet. in the Victoria Hotel, where we stayed last week, our toilet had a spray hose (think: the hose often attached to a kitchen sink) attached to it for washing off one's underside before using toilet paper. that was because one could use the hose if one wanted. here, some of the toilets have a hose, but some of them have something even more terrifying. it's also optional, but it's placement is... unsettling.
