Toilets Around the World

Readers- I just noticed that the last couple of posts had problems with their photos.  I have fixed them if you want to take a peek.  Sorry about that!

As you know from our Covid-19 post in March 2020, we left Jordan early to make our way back to Canada.  We were supposed to continue our adventure until the end of June 2020- we lost 3.5 months of our trip.  Who could have ever predicted that a pandemic would be the reason we had to cut and run?!

That said, we still have a few more posts to share in summary of some of our adventures and I'll start with this one!

Travelling for 7 months, we had to use many public bathrooms/washrooms/restrooms...whatever you want to call them.  We were amused, shocked and sometimes even entertained, by the variety of signs and styles of the facilities we encountered.   I put together this post to highlight some of the more unique ones.  Enjoy!

We carried toilet paper around with us at all times and, in most of South East Asia, found ourselves needing it as it was rarely supplied.
