sinks and suds

you know, it's kinda odd... after a month of using bathrooms all over the U.S. and Canada, you start to realize that there are so many types of faucets and so many different ways to dispense soap.... there are lots of automatic, touchless varieties now. as well as levers and buttons and things to pull and things to press... i've found that sometimes I'll hold my hands under the faucet assuming that it's going to turn on automatically. wrong. and then I'll try to pull something on the soap dispenser to then finally realize that it's automatic. duh. and i've actually grown to enjoy the warm air hand dryers. they are, of course, better for the environment, but not great when you are in a hurry. well, I've had a lot of practice now... and have found a generally good technique, that while not FAST per se, is still better than having all that paper refuse all over the floor (as invariably seems to happen....)
