Toilets of the World | Quirky photographic journey
We all do it. We all need one of these to do it in. Oh yes, the toilet. Whether you call it the bathroom, the WC, the washroom, the can, the lavatory, the loo, the powder room, or the throne, we all need the toilet. It's a universal human necessity, and in the book TOILETS OF THE WORLD 142 unique toilets have been compiled by Canadian globetrotters Morna Gregory and Sian James.
You'll find miniature log cabin toilets in the Canadian wilderness; state-of-the-art cubicles in Japan; huts precariously placed on stilts in the Caribbean; eco-friendly solar-powered toilets in New Zealand; a solid gold toilet in Hong Kong; an entire field of toilets in South Africa; urinals that pop out of the ground in London; a see-through cubicle in New York; a toilet carved out of a giant cactus in Bolivia; the Museum of Toilets in New Delhi; the first public lavatory built in 1911 in Johannesburg; and more...
Can't guarantee there's always toilet paper though...
