Perks, it is easier to wash the bathroom floors, you don't have those annoying caps over the screws that hold the toilet to the floor, you just have the bottom of the toilet bowl to clean not the pedestal, and you don't have to deal with condensation on the tank.
Downside, I'm guessing there is a weight limit?
The flushers are also quite different. It took me a few minutes to figure out how to flush when I first got here. Here is a picture of a typical flusher.
The rectangle with the two circles is the flusher. The Germans are very environmentally conscience and like to conserve water so the big circle is for a number 2 and uses more water, while the the smaller circle is for a number 1 and uses less water.
If your out in public and have to use the bathroom, you better have 50¢ or a Euro on you cause you have to pay to pee in most places in Germany.
Here is a German porta potty:
There is even a little sink inside to wash your hands. But the best part is that when your done, it closes itself back up automatically and it cleans itself. I was grossed out when I got inside because everything was wet but then we figure out after I got out that it completely santitizes itself between each use. Yes it is extremely close to the road.
I don't mind paying for a clean porta potty!
I promise to never blog about toilets again!
