I remember visiting Germany when I was in Jr. High, and going into the men’s room - where you’d see elderly cleaning ladies cleaning and mopping, oblivious to the men and they were oblivious to the cleaning ladies. For a suburban American kid, it was a weird experience.

That happens all the time in Japan. Happened just the other day. Cleaning women often enter men's restrooms in Japan while they are still in operation--not shutting them down for cleaning--and nobody so much as bats an eye. It is indeed a cultural difference.
