    The cleanest toilet around is at the Central Train Station at track 2A.

    It's 50 Eurocents admission, but worth while.

    Downtown during daytime just go to the 4th floor of the V&D department store or make a stopover at the many Amsterdam Café's (with varying facilities though).

    Women are a bit discriminated, because men can make use a the typical Amsterdam "Krul" pissoirs, you find on many downtown locations.

    When you gotta go, you gotta go and in Amsterdam, being a guy has its advantages. You'll see these public urinals on the street, so instead of yellowing up the canals, you can take care of your business right here, with all the world watching as you shake the dew off the lilly.

    The Dutch do care about people's health and the smell of the city. As they don't like men to go pee in a random place, they built the green "cages" around the city as a public toilet. However, as a woman, I feel it's rather unfair cos all these public toilets are for men only...where are we women supposed to go pee then? Hold it till home?

    At first I wasnt sure what these were but the are obviously only for men. This is ingenious though. We need these in LA. I saw some guy peeing into one of these and I thought "What the he@*!"
    Then of course Rob figured he needed to pee too. Of course.

    Part of Amsterdam's charm: the free public urinals for men. Sorry, ladies.

    They really do come in handy.

    The green pissoirs here in Amsterdam never fail to bring to mind the old joke about the Admiral and the Field Marshall at the annual Combined Services Dinner:

    As the Field Marshall finishes his business with a quick shake and a rezip and heads towards the door the Admiral admonishes him, "Excuse me Sir! At Dartmouth we were taught to wash our hands after using the toilet."

    To which the Field Marshall responds, "Actually Dear Chap, at Sandhurst we were taught not to pee on our hands in the first place!"

    Ha, OK "Toilet Humour"! but the point is that the green pissoirs are just that, so follow the Field Marshall's example ;P

    if you're a bloke, and had a few and don't want to get too close to the edge of the canal in case you fall in mid-pee. Or even if you are another "colourful local" and need somewhere to get changed in a hurry!

    I've only ever seen these temporary toilets at music concerts, but in Amsterdam there are quite a few of them, mostly around the red-light district.

    I'm told that these urinals are placed in the streets on weekends and holidays. Lucky guys..ladies still need to duck into a cafe. These two guys were good sports and raised no objection to my camera. I guess they were busy.
