Toilet at OTAGO Museum.

Miss Debbie Price from IS section of OTAGO University told me that one  toilet is worth seeing and it's close by at the Otago Museum and it's quite a small museum as compare to our national museum. Well, I  only interested in Toilet only.

A glance in the Museum's Toilet, well, it's very Clean and little bit of different is that the toilet seat was colorful and 2 posters were hanged right in front of the men's. ........

A.  A very colorful Toilet Seat Cover


B. Two (2) Posters in front of the Urinals.





C. Clearer View of the Poster.



















D. Another View of the Poster.


E.  All the Facilities in the Toilet.










Well, no doubt it's very simple but it carry a message that toilet can be used as a place for dissemination of information, knowledge or for advertisement like using the posters.

A Small Toilet in the land of the Kiwi ( Dunedin, New Zealand.)

It had been quite a while since I last wrote on this blog. Got really disappointed cos' pictures taken in SM Tung Hua, SK Abang Ali and SK Perbandaran Sibu No. 3's Toilets were lost because of the corrupted disk. Effort gone down the drain. A draft write up of these toilets had been done in this blog while waiting for the pictures. Had to take photos when back to Sibu.

Well, last two days while strolling in City of Dunedin, New Zealand and came across a small structured toilet (only two cubicles) and it's not only unisex but it's also for "OKU " or handicap one. It's free for use and self cleansing toilet as well as electronically operated. It was conveniently located in a car park next to a hyper market..NEW WORLD or CENTER CITY shopping  mall. Another special feature of this toilet is sight impaired or blind person friendly and the message in the notice was also engraved in the blind language- Braille .

Both of the toilets were also installed with Sanitac (a disposal bins ) for the ladies. Well, "Grace" and "Shirley  were correct that most of the public toilets  in Dunedin is really Clean. Maybe due to the Mindset of the people here.

Oh Yes, looking at the Dunedin City Map revealed that only 13 such public toilets were installed within the City.
