In Mexico City, basically but not only in the goverment offices, bathroom
plays a very important role in the everyday construction of the social life
of people, regardless the fact that most of them are not clean and
confortable places. Women's rest rooms can be real market places (in the
traditional sense of the word market: la plaza), commercial trade included,
of course. In bathrooms we share personal information, we make politics and
relax for a while apart from the boss sight. I agree that a good bathroom is
fundamental for the quality of working life.
