It’s the one thing we all have in common around this globe…when you gotta go, you gotta go. You’ll find toilets in some of the strangest places around the globe.
I personally find amusement and intrigue in the mundane – it’s one of my favorite things about travel. While looking through my photo albums recently, I realized that I had many, many photos of toilets. Yes toilets around the globe.
The above shot is a Mongolian toilet with a view, which is nothing more than a classic hole in the ground.
Apparently toilets catch my photographic eye. However it’s not necessarily that they make great photography, I capture them because I’m intrigued by the differences throughout the world; squatty potties, drop toilet, high tech toilets, western toilets.
And I’m even more intrigued on how my definition of a ‘good’ toilet evolves and changes as I travel.
Here are a few of my favorite places to ‘go’.
