Toilets?

[drmikki]

North Korea had some shockers, and none that were good! No water, no light (natural or otherwise), lots of 'misses' especially in the squats, live squirming maggots and worms at the bottom of the reeking pit... and my fave, 2 slabs of cement with a gap between them, perched precariously on the side of a mountain. :mrgreen:

Japan has some of the best (but there are some disgusting ones too!)

My personal worst was a brothel in Algeria (I was just looking).
A unisex squatter, no door, ankle deep and swimming with turds.

we laughed in spotless MRT in singapore - bugger all bins for rubbish on the platform or walkways - $500 littering fine but the tiolet was disgusting! Hong kong public toilets one main street had signs on the doors offering 3 different styles fro no.2s - western squat and drop through. but 4 year old announced on seeing wet floor " i not go in there!"
best were in singapore zoo and airport

I neglected to mention above the rather delightful public toilets at the old Bugis Street in Singapore (the one demolished in a 1980s redevelopment). As I recall there were two blocks (well, two men's at least, cannot recall the women's facilities), at least one of them flat-roofed. I never had to use the coughnal (thank goodness), but using the urinal (we tried desperately to avoid it, but when you're drinking beer...) involved sloshing our way across a floor about an inch deep in pi55 to the place you were supposed to empty into! Yecch!

I mentioned the flat roof because, although I never actually bore witness to it, a popular pastime among visiting sailors (primarily Oz and Kiwi) was to get very pi55ed and ascend to the roof of the dunny block, strip, have rolled up newspapers shoved up their dates by a mate, and set fire to...known as The Dance of the Flaming @#$%hole (where have all the old traditions gone ).

In the US earlier this year, in the apparently very wealthy and beautiful seaside town of Sausalito, I had to go (sit down). It seemed the regular public conveniences were undergoing some sort of maintenance and temporary flushless facilities were in place. Just a hole in a box, with everybody's business and paper staring back up at you. I did not dally!

I don't know where you were, but I never saw that in Siem Reap.

Nope, hence the rural. Was several hours bus ride out of REP on the way to sihanoukville. I'm note quite sure where I was either

What is that place in the pacific where the islanders do number 2's on the beach? kiribati IIRC.

Nothing like the toilets in your own home.

I shiver if I have to use a toilet away from home. Hotel rooms and lounges are barely acceptable....

Dear oh dear I wouldn't know where to begin!!

That is what I said when I was in a topless donut store in Miami once - :shock: ('just looking")

A topless donut store? What's the point? The top half is the best part of the donut, what with the icing and other toppings! :mrgreen:

Mine at my house after a night on the sauce and the local curry house.

Actually, was in reference to the shop assistants being topless - they were certainly well endowed, as were the topped donut varieties on offer... :shock:

Ah yes...the dodgy vindaloo

'ring of fire" sensation strikes again... De ja vu

While we're on the subject, this may be of interest (or distressing) to visitors to China: A Royal Flush: Exploring the Paradoxes of China

There's a lot of the world I just got put off visiting!
