Bathrooms of Taiwan

This is a squatter. I might add that this is a very clean one. I don't think I have mentioned that you can't flush ANY toilet paper anywhere in Taiwan, even where I live. You see that garbage can, well it isn't just full of femine products if you catch my drift. So, if you thought public restrooms are bad in America you haven't smelled Taiwan's! This is also one of the few bathrooms that has toilet paper in it. I always carry tissue around with me because you never know when you might need it.
I thought this was the funniest thing I've ever seen. Just in case you weren't sure what the second toilet is for....here are the instructions!

This is a bathroom at a very glamorous mall in Taichung where we go to church. I haven't seen any this nice anywhere else. Too bad I didn't need to go...who knows when I will see one this nice again.


A very well-to-do squatter.



This is the lobby of the same bathroom. It is so weird to find something like this in Taiwan. Everything is usually pretty dirty. We stopped on every floor of this mall because there was a different theme for every girls bathroom. The mall had about 8-10 floors.




Here is the "under the sea" theme. The ceiling was all lit up and spinning with sea creatures hanging from it.





Yes, this is a VERY small toilet. They have these in the kindergarten where I teach. That's why I always make sure I don't need to go to the bathroom....or I'll be using a baby toilet.
