The reason for this being that it helps in breaking the chain of faecal-oral transmission which is one of the prime reasons for majority of the public health problems.

The report clearly indicts the distorted priority of nations.

The crumbling shabbiness of this paradoxical paradise is best epitomized by the Hermitage, a museum to rival the greatest of museums. The compilation of art works housed in the seat of power of the Romanov dynasty makes for a subliminal experience best taken in over the course of multiple visits; such is the variety and beauty underpinned in this house of wonders.
