Beauty Parlor Trial Run

Public Restrooms:
We entered a room that seemed to be for sanitation purposes.  There are smaller rooms inside the larger room that seem to have a height and width requirement, otherwise assistance is necessary.  The larger room seems to be a place to be social, however, small talk is ended once a smaller room is entered.  Each small room one contains a small seat with a hole in the center that is used to dispose of liquid or solid bodily waste.  These small rooms are meant to keep a persons anonymity, as they are constructed to only show a persons feet once inside.  There is also hooks on the doors for temporary storage of personal objects while engaging in the intended activities.  Almost everything in this room is disposable.  There is also an area that allows for the cleaning of offspring, complete with instructions.
