If you are traveling and the need arises you can come across some unusual toilets. These unique and interesting toilets can be found in a bar, restaurant, train, hotel, desert, at a festival, in the middle of nowhere ect...
In our following list, we tried to collect a few of these interesting items. Some are shaped particularly wich can be upsetting to a few - (that are used to the modern western-style flush toilets) - and perfectly normal to others.
With that in mind here is our list:
