Oh! That’s the rose gardens in Parnell yes? I used to live a block away from there. The world is a small place!

We did the ten star tour of Japan – and the hotels all had Toto toilets – fully electronic command panels that instruct the toilet to have a heated seat, self opening and closing lid, spray arm with warm or cool water to wash your..’er..bottom and a warm forced air dry! Couple this with an in room flat screen tv and a telephone, not to mention luxe bath products – I didn’t want to leave the bathroom to see all the lovely sights!

The men’s room at the X Lounge here in Charlottesville is really unusual. There’s a wall of moving water and you aim your pee at the wall (men only of course) instead of into a toilet. My husband claims it is the most fabulous bathroom anywhere and even though we don’t really like the X Lounge, we talk of returning just so he can use the bathroom.
The Hooters in Richmond has a very souped-up bathroom. It’s a strange experience, using it, because the restaurant itself and the building are so crappy and then you go into the bathroom and it’s like you’ve been transported to an entirely different restaurant. Klassy.

Self-cleaning? Oh the wonder of it!
There’s one at a restaurant downtown that is even nicer than my living room. The seats are heated and the toilet offers a dryer and all kinds of rinse options. At first I thought it was the handicapped stall, but nope, it’s just a very high end toilet. Doug says in the men’s room there’s a flat screen TV mounted above the urinals and the movie “Starship Troopers” is always playing.
Needless to say, it is our favorite restaurant.

Ah, also best bathrooms ever? There's this bush railroad on the Coromandel Peninsula in NZ, called 'Barry Brickles Railway'. This very reclusive potter/artist started building it up through the bush 20 years ago, all by hand, even carrying everything up throught he bush, up a mountain etc... it's taken a long time and a lot of work. Anyway, you catch the open train up, and at the top - at the 'Eye-full Tower', there's this toilet. It's one of those decomposing loos. But it's the building that it's in that is spectacular. Barry has a thing for building walls and stuff out of bottles. There is the most glorious mosaic glass bottle wall.. the sun streams in, yet it's private.

The bathroom at my previous voting precinct was awesome. It had leather seats in the sitting area, Bath & Body Works soap, thick guest paper towels with imprinted palm trees, and granite top sinks with brushed aluminum fixtures. At a voting precinct!

In Seattle there is a very tall building, I think it is the Columbia Tower. I had lunch in a private club there. In the rest rooms, each stall was like a little bathroom with a toilet and sink and a huge picture window looking out over the city. There are no other buildings that are as tall, so it is completley private. Stunning.
