Pookie washes her paws in innocence with such a story !
Now you can easily imagine the gymnastic which people had to do because it's not so easy to pee while standing with the feet on the forseen gutters without wetting your shoes and cause an inondation. There is nothing to hold yourself in this position and usually it's years ago when we as little girls used to do that in the bushes !
But nature is nature and when you have to you have to !
This picture shows a meeting room in a roman historical site, where they all sat together side by side on the "throne". For more then 2000 years ago it was already very sophisticated, with running water underneath ! While slaves brought in plates and plates of food and a lot of wine, they ate, chatted and shit (sorry) all at the same time.
Now can you imagine our politicians in such a meeting place ? Maybe the world would be better then !
interesting post
ReplyDeleteid heard about toilets in some countries but actually seen them
and as for the roman rest rooms well . . . imagine the bacteria
Oh! la,la! J'en reviens pas, alors on a guère fait de progrès depuis cette époque si ce n'est que nous sommes beaucoup plus pudiques! Ah,ah! J'imagine l'équipe de Sarkokenstein assis sur les trônes en train de prévoir comment ils vont faire payer les classes moyennes et les pauvres avec le sourire! Comment vont ils enrober cette "shit" pour tout nous faire gober???
ReplyDeleteExcuse me, but this is a *shitty* post, lol! now what's the green bucket for? Is that the way to flush????
ReplyDeleteI have seen this kind of toilets in France, even in small towns where the local café only has this to offer...better than nothing. I use a toilet wherever I see one when traveling, just in case there won't be any in the next 4 hours!
your first photo reminds me of the toilets in China. I was preganant when I had to use it and it wasn't a pretty sight to say in the least :) Those are great photos!!
ReplyDeleteI spose they can't use that rhyme

ReplyDeleteI like the last comment about the worlds politicians. I'm really, really glad for our Western toilets now that I've seen the hole in the floor.
I've also found the color palet for my my website. I had fun all day redoing my site.
Oh yeah, these old restrooms were also used to spread false rumours - according to our guide in Ephesos.
ReplyDeleteOhh Gattina I laughed at the roman rest room all sitting there eating and shiting,
ReplyDeletethe hole in the floor bought back memories of our trip to Italy, We took a train trip and on returning back to Rome station I had to use the toilet well i wondered what do i do in here a whole in the floor and a place to put your feet i had slacks and a fur coat on and camera bag and a handbag over my shoulder, how I managed ill never no remember im Aussie lol..
