Just to share

1. They love our piñatas here.  We were blessed to make several friends here, so for one of the birthday party I made piñata.  It has a picture of Lillie Fee, the birthday girl's favorite character.

 
 
2. Luxembourg is not a true bicycle country like Holland / Netherlands, however they do try.  The city provides bicycles for rent. The first 30 min are free of charge and there are many stations where you can pick up and drop off your bike.  Here are some pictures.
 
This is a local "station".  Any location has about 15 bicycles.
 
 
The lock system.


 
Payment center on one side of the "checkout booth".

 
A map of the area on the other side.

 
 
 
 
 
 
3.  Ahhh, toilets.  If you travel from city to city and used public toilets, you know all the frustrations and discomforts.  Most of the time you have to pay to use the bathroom, around $1, unless you are in a mall.  Even some McDonalds, Burger Kings and other chains charge unless you buy their food, and even then not all are that generous.
 
However in this post I wanted to highlight the cool things I have discovered about European bathrooms.  They are not all the same but majority seem to offer.
 
So, first of all toilets have dual flash system, aka for # 1 and #2,  SAVE WATER ;))
 
 
Sanitizing gel dispenser, so you can clean your seat.

 
 
This is touch free trashcan.  One less thing you are touching :)

 
 
And this is not all about European toilets. More to come.
