Bathrooms Abroad -Australia





Australia has an amazing public bathroom system. They are everywhere! Clearly marked,easily accessible, and surprisingly clean.





This one was all automatic. You pushed a button for the door to open, another button for it to close, a button for the seat to come down from a metal door behind the toilet, where it is automatically washed between uses, a button for toilet paper. Music played.

Bathrooms Abroad - Ireland

Yesterday we traveled from London, England to Dublin, Ireland by train and ferry. It was great fun, and you've got to see the fancy space pod bathroom on the train.

You pressed a button and the door whooshed around, revealing a round bathroom inside.


You had to hit different buttons to lock it, and I had nightmare visions of someone whoosh-slide opening it while I was in there with no way to stop it.




Later in Dublin we went out to a pub. It is classified as a historic landmark, so it is almost impossible to do any updates to. 


I couldn't find the toilet paper at first but then realized it was from these strange dispensers way above your head, which give out one square at a time like a tissue box.


So there you have it, folks. A new country, a new bathroom!

I'm very excited to be here in Ireland. The next two weeks promise great things!
