Global Ablutions


Four weeks in - eating various cultural dishes and travelling through countryside and city, the average human body must ablute at regular intervals...


I can honestly say that someone should write a book about the Toilets of the world! So far we have experienced some of the following... Singing toilets, spraying toilets, rotating toilets, toilets that talk to you, toilets you talk at, holes in the floor, seats with a view and the general white ceramic bowl. Seats with plastic, seats of steel, seats with cushions and seats you would avoid at all costs! Toilets that flush on their own, some you just stand and they get going, some you push a button, some you pull the plug and some that simply don't flush!


But the winner thus far is an operatic self cleaning loo on the beach front in Melbourne! It talks you through each step of the process and finishes by steam cleaning itself throughout - best you don't get stuck on the loo. P.s. there is a timer on the loo - so this is no library experience!
