Anna Haase offers a toilet tour in Berlin, Germany. Before you rush off to Berlin however, you may wish to experience Japanese toilets as an interesting alternative. Better yet, visit Chongqing, China and see the world’s largest bathroom which is located in a four story building offering more than 1,000 toilets. But remember to bring toilet paper…
After they use the bathroom they will be very, very happy.
Quotation from Lu Xiaoqing
2.5 billion people worldwide are without access to proper sanitation, which risks their health, strips their dignity, and kills 1.8 million people, mostly children, a year.
Quotation from the World Toilet Organization. Don’t forget to celebrate World Toilet Day on November 19th.
ok, so who is up in the picture up there? inquiring minds, and yes i KNOW my husband looks heroic when he’s taking care of sparky lol my heart swells with love when i watch the scene
loved your comic and yeah, the orient knows how to do toilets lolol i didn’t know there was a toilet day coming up tho 
I like the picture and how she’s gazing out of it and seems to be ignoring the guy. We have the world’s worst toilets at my office. Some brain dead desk jockey installed allegedly water saving valves. Problem is, they save so much water that all the stuff in the toilet doesn’t go down on the first try. Some excessively buoyant specimens take multiple tries, thus using more water than if there was sufficient flow on the first flush.
November 19th is circled on my calendar. I used a nice thick brown crayon.
your photographic subject has really beautiful eyes…. perhaps he’s discussing the toilet tour and her mind is wandering…. it seems a subject that interests boys more than it does girls… at least, my 3 boys were fascinated by potty talk and fart jokes… not so much their sister.
Looks like she wants to be somewhere different
Always good to have a little toilet training. The pigeons in our garden could certainly do with some :0
You are on hell of an amazing resource…You belong in a huge office with glass windows, the world at your fingertip…
Toilet tours really isnt my thing, seems quite bizarre to me, but also bizarre and ridiculous in todays day and age os the massive numbers without proper sanitary conditions
Ya that’s a look you never want to see on the woman your hanging out with. Sheesh, poor guy.
Toilet day huh? Not a very well known celebration for sure. But we do take a lot for granted like the humble toilet. I would truly hate to have to live without one.
Haha, very cool proposition! I love this culture as it is experenced in a different way everyday!^_^
Surprised you know many of China and the Quotation from Lu Xiaoqing is quite excellent! Let us enjoy the culture! ^_^
Yesterday at work we had a very interesting talk about toilets in the Middle Ages, people would sit in a line-up on the toilet (read: a big bench with holes over a canal) it sure is good for having a great conversation.
It is good to be reminded about people that don’t have good sanitation.
Thanks for your information.
oh dear I’ve just written a post about Japanese toilets for tomorrow. Maybe I’d better hold it back for a few days
Love your header photo today – beautiful!
Reminds me of a PBS Radio piece I heard about John Lennon’s toilet from a home he had in London being sold for a lot of money. Not bad for a worldwide recession, eh? ; )
I was at a cafe in Atlanta a few weeks ago that had a two flush toilet system, one small flush for number one and a more powerful flush for number two (I assume). So far it’s the only dual flush commode that I’ve seen in the wild.
Your mind is rich, creative, witty, you are very unique, Seraphine…. (love your comics here and the throne
I remember reading about the flying toilets of the Mumbai slums where some use a plastic bag, tie it off and then throw it as far as they can. It’s very sad that not all have access to hygienic facilities.
I’m a firm believer that toilets are part of the cultural shock experienced when traveling and I love commenting on their various oddities/ amenities. I don’t talk about it with everyone I know though, I’m still proper.
Always amazed at the things you come up with to cartoon about. Toilets are a great equalizer!!!
no. i don’t want your number. no. i don’t wanna give you mine. no. don’t wanna meet you no where. no. don’t want none of your time. i don’t want no scrubs, scrub is the guy who can’t get no love from me, hangin’ out the passenger side of your best friend’s ride, tryin’ to holla at me, lalalala

No Scrubs Vid
oh, yeah.. i hear the japanese are obsessed with making their toilets as comfy as possible.. that’d be the first place i’d hit up if i get to visit japan.. ;D
Hahaha…great composition! So am I prince once a day
)))
ooooohhhh i love toilets
my husband grew roses when we lived on the boat, in huge flower boxes on the back deck, then one day a big ol’ mama canada goose started nesting in one of the boxes, of course the one nearest the door so that we feared for our lives every time we went in and out… and the roses died
I have to, have to, have to ask.
In that photo?
Is that Elvis?
‘Cause it kinda looks like Elvis.
And if he’s alive, I’d totally believe he’s hiding on your blog.
My retreat. My cave. My library. My respite. Love those bathrooms…
World Toilet Day? That rocks.
