During our travels, I have, to my children’s great horror, taken it upon myself to document toilets wherever we go. Some people do doors, windows, or funny signs; I chose toilets.
They are such simple things, toilets, and often truly foul. But there’s no denying that they carry a great deal of importance in our daily lives.
I won’t clog this blog with the hundreds of toilet photos I took, but if you are curious, I’ll be posting them on a tumblr dedicated to nothing but Toilets All Over the Map.

I can’t be alone in this fascination, can I? If you’ve got toilet photos or stories to share, send them along for inclusion!

Crazy! i’ve never seen a SQUARE toilet seat before.
Love this idea! Especially because clean water and toilets are scarce in developing countries.
Ooooh! I can’t wait for the Southeast Asia edition! 😉 You also need one with the protective sleeve that goes marching along in between flushes. Tell a kid to sit on that?! Eek!
Great pics! Are you familiar with the Toilet Museum in South Korea? I think it has to be your next trip! Visiting from SITS.
I had no idea! Will definitely put it on the list.
