My oldest daughter went through a phase between age 2-3 where she was fascinated by toilets when shopping. Anywhere we went, she would insist she had to use the toilet, but she was actually just intrigued by each unique facility. She is an adult now, and I’m thinking there is a career choice that has been under-exploited.
It’s obviously for those tourists who are utterly jaded by seeing places like The Pyramids, The Great Wall, the Taj Mahal, The Coliseum, etc. Any old tourist will go to those places. But when have you known someone to come back from a vacation with a photo album filled with pics of Public Toilets?
Cultural Shocks: My daughter came back from a rustic fixtures Girl Scout camp and the first words out of her mouth were, “Dad! Did you know that there are toilets that are just holes and don’t flush?
But where are we? This is not Engrish. This is not Funny. Those cuneiforms are not Aztec, Maya, or Inca. If those characters are Chinese, they would not have existed when the Inuit migrated over to Alaska on the land bridge and they wouldn’t have had stainless steel Phillips screws for the sign. (I thought I’d do the jackass posting since I wasn’t first.)
I’m still pretty new here, so let me explain that I’m not trying to disguise myself – I just had to change e-mail services and apparently when you change your e-mail address here you get a new face.
I think it’s Bloomington, Indiana that has gigantic main sewers big enough for a city of several million. (The city fathers planned ahead, i guess). I don’t know whether there are tours, though. There should be.
I do believe that the Chinese, like all Asians, belong to the species homo sapiens. So if they are the same species, they must also belong to the same genus. So there is no “Chinese genus.” (I’m sure the extra “i” was just a typo. You are obviously a person of high intellect and literacy.)
Lol, There are more posts on here than many many posts about video games or public questions and this article is completly disgussing the toilet?!?! The other forums must be on about a right load of crap then!!!!
Gather ’round people!
Can everyone hear me?
No? Scooch in a bit closer then, but mind that pile of overflowing garbage…there’ve been a lot of women in here with their briefs and stoppers…
That’s the first place I would go to on a tour.
Every time I go on a tour I end up visiting the facilities as well.
Hey, that’s the only kind of vacation I can afford in this economy.

That *is* where my vacation is in this economy

A friend from uni went trekking in Nepal, and sent back a series of postcards – each one was a diatribe about the horrors of pit toilets.
Well, something to keep him occupied while squatting, writing those cards…
It’s also a great place to get a view of most of the world’s economies at this time, since most of them are already in there.

I’ve been in the toilet tourist industry for many years and I tell you it stinks.
We’ve probably been on one of your tours.
I’m still pretty new here, so let me explain that I’m not trying to disguise myself – I just had to change e-mail services and apparently when you change your e-mail address here you get a new face.
Not that I’m complaining, mind you.
Is this just western style toilets, or do we get to see the whole assortment.
The toilet decorates, causes inconvenience to you, understand please.
Do they even know *how* to make a civilised urinating here?
Ask George Michael for instructions.
Actually, I don’t want to look at the hole assortment.
Does the gift shop still have the complete collector’s set of urinal cakes
Yes, and a line of disintegrating toilet paper so you can relive your vacation memories at home!
The urinal cakes are a p!ssy lie.
No, the urinal cakes lie in p!ss.
The urinal cakes would lie even if they weren’t in
p!ss!
George Michael goes there every year, apparently.
Damn you!!!!!
I was gonna put that!!
I scrolled down thinking “Cool, nobodys put in anything about GM” then here you are!!
*stomps feet and pouts*
‘snot fair!!!
Here, we’ll each hold an end of this comment, and share it.
Where are they holding the Snot Fair this year? I can’t wait to go! Sure beats Burning Man.

Here, obviously?
That’s a cute Nose!
Somewhere in Greenland, I think.
Oh, boy! Nothing more fun than frozen snot!
Cold is when your boogers freeze and hot is when you go to an asphalt parking lot and you smell burning nose hair.
Yes, I’ve heard there’s nothing George Michael enjoys more than a civilized urinating!
I wonder what they would give out as souvenirs…?
Probably Animal Colon, Pee Pie, and a pet’s excrement.
“And on the left, you’ll see the toilet where Mr. So-and-So let one rip…”
Em, in Vienna (Wein), Austria, they actually do give tours of the sewers (as seen in “The Third Man”).
You can’t say the Austrians don’t know how to have a good time!
Isn’t Vienna in the Outback? So isn’t it too dry for sewers there?
Are you the real George “Dubya” Bush?
Of course not! I believe in God, but I don’t believe in imaginary creatures like George W. Bush. There is no real George W. Bush.
Hey, he’s our imaginary friend! Or maybe it’s just that we imagined that he was our friend. *shakes head*

Its in Chinese geinus.

are there any exploding close stools?
Not for some time now! For a while, that was one of my favorite motifs…
Juado you mean MExico???
Indeed.
What does Mexico has to do with this?
Or is it just a plot to make you scroll trough all the comments to see if someone has figured it out?
Or is it an alien conspiracy?
????????????????????????
Ok…why the “Ahh Mexico” ? Its a bad idea and insultant for the Mexican people!
