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.

1. The Front View of the Toilet.














2. The Notice Board at the Entrance- noted the engraved braille on the board.


















3. The Rear View of the Toilet.










4. The Door (electronically operated)  to the Cubicle.
