| Ok, I've had enough of substandard pissrooms. We need faculty restrooms. There never is anything adequate to dry your hands and often there is no soap unless it's a nice hotel or something else very 1st rate. That no soap business is for the birds as we need soap to wash our dirty nosebuttpickers. |

| Some of us have faculty restrooms that aren't like the "culture" described by the OP. We always have the bar of soap, each toilet has a bidet, we have a hand blow dryer and also a paper towel dispenser.... |

At my school, in the restroom, they do not have paper towels to dry your hands. They don't have a blowdryer either. They have one towel hanging from a towel bar that everyone shares.
I was a little grossed out about it and normally I never use it. But today I was in a hurry and feeling really disorganized. So I took a leak, washed my hands and quickly dried them on this towel without thinking.
Then I went to eat some snacks. As I was eating I thought to themself, what is that terrible smell? Is this food bad? But soon I realized that it was the foul smell of urine on my hands from rubbing them on that towel.
It was intense, there must have been a LOT of urine on that towel for it to have left such an intense stench on my hands. I thought I was going to puke.
Now I ask, does this make sense? Is it sanitary? Might it even spread diseases and pestilence? We are supposed to be some kind of high class educational operation, yet we have piss-soaked towels that everyone shares. Put a freakin blowdryer or paper towel dispenser in there so everyone isn't washing thier hands with soap, and then rubbing them in a piss-soaked towel afterwards!
This goes to show how dirty the kids really must be. From now on I am not gonna let them touch me. I always see my director rubbing his hands in this towel too.
What the hell? |
We have a towel like that in our male teachers' toilet. I once saw a teacher dry his toothbrush on it. |

im grateful for a teachers bathroom that has soap. Forget drying my hands, i can flick the water off or just leave em for 2 mins to air dry.
just remember every tmie u open that toilet door to leave, every hand thats has touched it was just touching something else...thats the gross part. |

| Cleanliness issues aside, is it even appropriate for students and teachers to be sharing a bathroom. I find it odd especially considering the recent pedophilia uproar. |

What's all the fuss about? Urine is sterile.   |

| That's true, urine is sterile, but feces is not. |

How many people have you seen in your home country even wash their hands after a drizzle?
Which makes me wonder which hand is cleaner?
A hand wiped on a rag where kids share their gunk? Or a hand that has touched a man's twinker unwashed?
Of the choices, I'd take my chances with the rag of doom, at least there is some hope that soap or disinfectant made it's way onto it.
PS. It's not the "culture" persay. It would be the country. There's no "culture" that promotes sharing of excrement. |

Are you kidding me? THEY LINE UP to wash their hands!
This summer it was especially noticeable, I having been away for years. About 90% of guys at the mall, in the bar and at the movies wash their hands. And that number nears 100% when there is a rush, ironically, probably because there is a line and no one wants to be whispered about as the unclean one or just because the line reminds them of the cultural edict to wash your hands after going to the bathroom. |

I never use the towels here....they pretty stank.
But this ain't Nepal, Bangladesh or India. Be thankful there is running water, the students aren't shitting all over the floor (and no janitor is cleaning it up) and you don't have to use your left hand to wipe.....
This is one of those little ways that Korea still shows how quickly they stepped out of poverty. Gross, but just one of the things that comes with travel.
My favourite toilet is the swat shack out back of my favourite motorcycle shop. It looks just like any toilet I'm used to seeing in India, but in Korea it's clean and I have TP for my butt. It's a bit of a pain having to carry a bucket of water in so you can flush, and squatting in a wet dark cave is not always my favourite past time, but it adds character. In a weird way I like it. |

It is a good habit to get into carrying a hankerchief to dry your hands after you have left the toilet. Otherwise, wait for nature to dry them.
Pushing toilet doors with your elbow is another good habit to keep clean.
The drier we have takes so long, my hands would naturally dry in the time it takes to walk back to the staffroom. |

Yes, it's the culture. 
I guess the test they did on bar nuts where they found 52 types of urine in a bowl can be explained by our culture.
I agree that a lot of bathrooms in Korea are sub-par, but you are in a school, with kids, who do disgusting things. Maybe some kid pissed on the floor and decided to mop it up with the towel. Culture has nothing to do with it.
By the way, I walked into the boy's toilets at my school one day to find shit smeared all over the walls, floor, urinals and sinks. The communal towel has fat brown chunks squishd into it. The same thing happened at the elemenatry school I attended as a student. Go figure. |
Kids will be kids. That's when adults must step in and put things right.
Back home kids do the same nasty things they do here. However, the school admin back home didn't promote bad hygiene as is so apparent here.
yeah, that's a great way to save 5 bucks an hour, lets have students push the dirt around. Supervise them? Why?
Brilliant. |
