松散的景色令人难以置信,豪华的洗手间,优秀的房屋 - 所有这些都在这幅图画指南中被列入世界上最迷人的厕所。无论是高科技还是艺术,有趣或惊人,每个厕所都有照片和描述其位置。从南极到赞比亚,有超过一百个洗手间要记住。
任何有经验的旅客都知道,你可以通过它的浴室讲一个地方。无论你喜欢把它们称为盥洗室,loo,沼泽,khasi,thunderbox,dunny,浴室,洗手间,洗手间或洗手间 - 厕所是一个(有时是不透明的,通常是敞开的)窗口进入目的地的秘密灵魂。

Lonely Planet, "Toilets: a spotter's guide"
English | ISBN: 1760340669 | 2016 | EPUB | 128 pages | 129 MB
Loos with incredible views, lavish lavatories, outstanding outhouses - all are featured in this pictorial guide to the world's most stunning toilets. Whether they're high-tech or arty, amusing or amazing, each toilet has a photo and a description of its location. More than 100 restrooms to remember are featured, from Antarctica to Zambia.
As any experienced traveller knows, you can tell a whole lot about a place by its bathrooms. Whatever you prefer to call them - lavatory, loo, bog, khasi, thunderbox, dunny, bathroom, restroom, washroom or water closet - toilets are a (sometimes opaque, often wide-open) window into the secret soul of a destination.
It's not just how well they're looked after that's revealing, but where they are positioned and the way they've been conceptualised, designed and decorated. Toilets so often transcend their primary function of being a convenience to become a work of art in their own right, or to make a cultural statement about the priorities, traditions and values of the venues, locations and communities they serve.
The lavatory is a great leveller - everyone feels the call of nature, every day - but being ubiquitous doesn't make it uniform. Around the planet (and beyond it, see page 12), toilets have followed various evolutionary pathways to best suit their environment.
In these pages you'll find porcelain pews with fantastic views, audacious attention-seeking urban outhouses, and eco-thrones made from sticks and stones in all sorts of wild settings, from precipitous mountain peaks to dusty deserts. So, wherever you're reading this, we hope you're sitting comfortably.
