As you know, Phyllis and I spent 5 weeks in Asia -- quite an experience. There were many unique moments, but among the most unique was the bathroom situation in China and Vietnam. Toilets are porcelain holes (at best) and plain mud holes (the norm). Toilet paper? I have no idea how the tourist deal with this issue.

Thank Goodness for your mini-rolls. Phyllis was the most popular person on the trip! Every time we stopped at a bathroom she apportioned off toilet paper to the women in line who would have been out of luck without her supply.

I would think that cruise ships and tour operators going to third world countries would consider carrying the mini-rolls and giving them to their passengers. It is the perfect "little touch" that is irreplaceable in consideration and practicality.
