Funny Sign Teaches Toilet Brush Use

Jun 19, 2013 by Daniel McBane 4 Comments

Funny Sign Toilet Brush

I spent last week in my mother’s hometown, an area of Germany with more pigs than people, for a cousin’s wedding. I found this helpful sign teaching toilet brush use in the bathroom of our bed and breakfast. You might be able to guess this, but ‘falsch‘ means ‘incorrect’, ‘fast richtig‘ means ‘almost correct’ and […]

Sorry About This: Another Disgusting Chinese Toilet

May 8, 2013 by Daniel McBane 13 Comments

Disgusting Chinese Toilet

This lovely restroom at Karakul Lake in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of China was neither restful, nor a room. Rooms generally have doors and resting is difficult with no comfort, a stench every bit as bad as you might imagine from the photo and no light after dark. As if that wasn’t enough, they […]

Japanese Add Faucet to Toilet to Save Water

Japanese Toilet With Faucet

Most people are aware of Japan‘s high-tech toilets with their numerous (and let’s face it, mostly unnecessary) functions, but not everyone knows that most toilets in Japan come with a faucet and a little sink above the water tank. When you flush, the faucet starts running to refill the tank, giving you a chance to […]

Although the tower itself measures only 237 meters in height, it stands on Seoul’s highest point, the 262 meter tall Namsan, giving it some amazing views of the South Korean capital and one of the world’s most populous cities. The night views are […]

Warning: Picture of a Disgusting Chinese Toilet

Disgusting Chinese Squat Toilet

In hindsight, I don’t know what more I could want—it has both a divider for a little privacy and select reading materials strewn about. I found this lovely squat toilet at one of the rest stops our bus made on the way from Lijiang to the Tiger Leaping Gorge in China’s Yunnan Province. You’ll find […]

How to use a toilet

Jun 9, 2012 by Daniel McBane 1 Comment

How To Use A Toilet

Finally a hotel considerate enough to inform me how to use a toilet—all these years I’ve been doing it wrong. When I think of all the slips and falls and wet shoes and bruised butt-cheeks that could have been avoided…….. But, seriously—why is this in English? Are western tourists really the problem?

Welcome!

As the more astute among you may have guessed, my name is Daniel McBane. I've been traveling and working overseas for almost ten years now and have finally decided to document some of the strange, crazy or just plain funny encounters and observations from my travels. I've also added a travel guide section, figuring I should reward my four readers by providing at least something of use. Read more on my about page.
