I always take a sarong when traveling and don't mind the odd stares as I woble through a rattling train corridor en route the loo at 3 in the morning. At that time my aim is not the best so being able to hike up the sarong is a definite bonus.

Actually, the first time I did a long train journey in India I avoided drinking much to try to hold out. But when I had to go the toilets weren't actually anywhere near as bad as I was expecting and I regretted making myself thirsty! Honestly, even where they are bad you simply get used to holding your nose and being as quick as possible. And wipes are a good idea. Agree - don't show your wife this thread - it'll certainly put her off!

I agree with travelling on busses and trains in a skirt... much easier to navigate those 'moments'. I also agree with the 'start with the easier places' like North America or Australia or Nz. so she can decide If she really gets off on travelling. If you can afford it, perhaps she can fly and join you in some of the more 'civilized' places

#36 Stopping drinking to avoid the toilets is a dangerous thing. you end up dehydrating, get constipation and maybe even worse things. So wherever you are specially in warm countries drink plenty bottled water all day long.
