Oh the places we go

With most things these days, we don't really know what to expect. This "element of surprise" is particularly visible in the WC! 

Starting at the bottom, inside a fairly nice mall downtown, I was shocked to find such a basic pot...
Hmm, I'm not sure it is accurate to call it a 'pot'

Surprising in a mall, but even more surprising inside the cute kids center where Zoe just started ballet.....
 How is a girl in a tutu expected to aim into that?!

The good news - these hole toilets are pretty rare. The bad news - pots like this are fairly common...fairly basic pot - but, note the large trash can along side. 
Apparently it's fairly common to discard TP in trash cans vs down the tube - the larger the trash can, the stinker the John. Honestly makes you wish for a hole in the ground again

Moving up the chain, I came across a pot with those automatic moving plastic seat protectors (like at Chicago's Ohare airport). Was totally shocked given my estimate that 0.5% of bathrooms here even have paper covers...

To quote oprah, "One thing I know for sure" is that it is an adventure each time you pee. One friend's house has a 'powder room' off the kitchen so large, you could honestly fit a sleeper sofa in it....
(and there is no bedroom on this floor - yet it has a full shower too!)

At another friend's house, I was surprised to find their own in home urinal (or "penis holder" according to Zoe)!  
Given the number of wet seats I've sat on at home, brilliant I say!


Anyhow, here's to the joy of pleasantly surprising bathrooms and hoping you have a 'hap-pee' Wednesday (sorry, couldn't resist!)
