    IMHO, nothing transmogrifies toilet-talk like the Toto®. Their advert calls it “ecology-minded luxury in a streamlined design. … A heated seat with five temperature settings. The temperature and pressure of the water are adjustable, each with five settings.”

    It’s a bidet in a bowl with a battery-powered remote. I found one at the Hotel Indonesia Kempinsky in Jakarta.

    Haha, the public toilet in Groningen is made by a famous Dutch architect and another famous Dutch photographer. The costs were also famous but this is what we have; a real piece of art for both men and women with the theme “battle of the sexes” mentioned in several travel guides. What else should we wish for….

    The toilets you show with the sewing machine and the patrol handle are great!

    I do enjoy your comments and pictures of the various places that you have been to though I have never commented before. But I couldn’t resist this time. Toilets are always a source of wonder and laughter over the places that we have been as well….a wonderful “Loo with a view” at Victoria Falls on the Zambia side! But the best story that I have is in the ‘90’s at the Pushkin museum in Moscow was the toilet paper….a lovely square cut piece of a newspaper crossword, fun and purpose at the same time! Have a lovely trip! Rob and I are on a 3 month odyssey in a Asia, right now, we are in Yangon, Myanmar. Cathy
