From Tacoma to the UN in Switzerland
Monday, June 26th, 2006

Some of the most curious images at the United Nations in Geneva are the icons found on the women`s and men`s toilets.
Little variation is found in the entire U.N. complex. Even the recent addition contains the same icons.
I realize Europeans dress differently and have slightly different values, but I`ve yet to come across anyone, woman or man, who looks even remotely like these images. I`ve not been able to find a dress or suit in the shops that resembles these outfits either.
I may be thinking small, but UN reform could begin with the images on the toilet doors. :)
