A Toilet Diary

Toilet, Bathroom, Restroom, Loo, W.C.,Water Closet, Head, Crapper, Reading Room,…..we all use them. While traveling we get to experience many variations of them, and therefore, I’ve decide to keep a Toilet diary and share the experience. I'll be using the acronym W.C. when referring to them, being that it appears to be the most universal international reference.

Pakistan

NO COMMENT!!


China

Not only communal, but also filthy!


Toilet Art, Astrup Fearnley Museum of Modern Art, Oslo






Andorra

Sponge Bob?




Square Butts Only!!


Le Calendre Restaurant, Italy

The three man in the picture are brothers and the owners of the restaurant. Those Europeans are so funny!

South Korea

When your child wants to go at the same time!

France

The wall pees into the toilet to "flush"!



Switzerland


Cyprus

When the pipes are old, don't through the paper down the toilet!!

Iraq

Converts a "squat" toilet to a "sit" toilet!!


New Zealand Thrice

Your own personal advertisement monitor while peeing in a "trough" urinal. Primitive with modern twist.

New Zealand Again

Self-locking and self cleaning toilets!!! But what happens if there's a power outage?




New Zealand

Fail!! No Urinal Dividers!!

Kota Kinabalu Mall

Spray butt washer and the door almost reaches the floor - very civilized toilet for a "mall".


Singapore Aquarium

"Porthole" Mirrors - a modern twist of a boat's restroom. Keeping with the aquatic theme of the aquarium.


Fullerton "Five Star" Hotel, Singapore

A near perfect toilet. Each stall is like a closet. Perfect for privacy and you don't have to listen to or hear the person in the stall next next to you. You don't even have see their shoes. All work places should have rest rooms like this.




Xiahe, China Thrice

A handicap squat toilet?



China Again

A squat flush toilet! 



China

The sign above the urial reads "Step forward a small step civilization"!!


Nairobi

"Blah" or "Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah"?


Uganda Boat Toilet Views

Overnight Train, Zimbabwe

You’re probably see these in India. Everything drops directly on the tracks.


Bar, Guinea-Bissau

Pee only! No toilet seat, no water or water tank.  Located in a dark room with spider webs. A phone light is required to see.


Drill Monkeys, Nigeria -

A beautiful outdoor drop toilet. Doesn't get much better than this... expect perhaps a door!

Ganvie Lake Village, Benin

When the home is on stilts over lakes there doesn't seem to be too many option. Other than a hole in the floor and right into the lake.




Truck Stop, Benin

FILTHY with a bucket flush and no toilet paper! Yay!
