    Amsterdam has quite "interesting" streetscape with its open-air public pissoirs that cover only the parts that need to be covered, so while you're walking away, you may recognize your neighbor on the urge. Even in older writings on etiquette, it is a source of doubt whether you should greet him or not in such a situation.

    Guys get the benefit when it comes to public urination. I suppose it's because they are my likely to commit the act!

    Ladies are left to find a friendly cafe or pay a euro or so for the priveledge. I guess that's the price you pay for privacy!

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

    They really do come in handy.

    There are several "urinals" around the center of Amsterdam. They are metal half circles that cover only your middle part. So you shouldn't be surprised to see a guy watching the street scene around him as he urinates in one of these. And of course the urine just flows to the ground below him... but that's better than the in the canals.

  • Well not really, but in another stroke of social tolerance, AmDam has placed free standing "urinals" in public. They are basically walls with a backstop. Four people can use them at once, and besides the part of you that is facing the "wall", you are out there peeing in public. One such urinal was right int he middle of an intersection! But again, they realized that instead of wasting money and resources on prosecuting people who have to pee, lets just make it clean and safe! WTG AmDam...
