First off, they're tiny. The seating area is the same - all humans have similar bum sizes - but the bowl and back and bottom are flat or non-existent. I don't know how they do it.Also, the public stalls have enormous doors. You have lots of privacy when doing your thing. If the stall door doesn't reach all the way to floor, like normal doors, it is usually only an inch or two above the floor. This has one downside: you can't bend down and look at shoes to see if a stall is in use.
The final (and my personal favorite) difference in Danish toilets is this: some of them have number 1 and number 2 buttons! They don't SAY number one and number two, of course, but the left half circle only uses half the water to flush, and the whole circle uses more water. (That'd be number 1 and number 2, respectively). Not ALL of the toilets have this, but I've encountered several and let me tell you, it is a thrill.
Fancy toilets. What a great country.

Kelly,
My eco-friendly hotel here in Jackson has the same Euro flush toilets, they are so trendy and green. Maybe I'll take a sharpie and write 1 and 2 above the half and full circle. Happy flushings,
