His review of Hotel Stella is one of the most satisfying and elegant pieces of travel journalism I have read in a long time.

Another way to avoid detection is to pretend you don’t speak French. Since I won’t be pretending it will be easy. Toilette?
No?
Oui.
Wee.
Toilette.
Oui!

Hotels and nice parking garages in the US are my refuges stateside.

But it is kinda fun to get thrown out of there.

I had to ask another Starbucks customer for the toilet passcode on her receipt. I was not about to spend $7 for a coffee just so I could pee and thus have the same problem in another half an hour. And no, I did not feel guilty: Starbucks has gotten a lot of my money in the past.

McDonald’s used to be the default free toilet, but the last time I was in Paris, they didn’t have any toilet paper. I knew I had to carry my own toilet paper in Bolivia, but I never thought about it in France.
