"The hole"

Ah yes, the hole. Not every place that you go has these, but many do. An Italian explained it to me this way "If the place looks nice, the bathroom is probably nice, if it doesn't, then the bathroom probably has 'the hole'". These aren't just in Italy though, this is a picture of one I found in Switzerland at a rest stop:

I had to take a picture of it because it's a little different then other ones I've seen, it has little islands for your feet. Usually you have to straddle it, this one allows you to stand right in it. Not sure if I like that better or not...
