Synopsis
So you finally arrive in a village somewhere east of Ulan Bator after a kidney-jolting, 12-hour journey across the Asian steppes by Mongolian pony, and you need to use the loo. You make the appropriate pantomime and are ushered into the appropriate place, not knowing quite what to expect. For anyone who has ever confronted a squat toilet in Turkey, a bidet in Paris, or a community latrine in China, Eva Newman's Going Abroad: The Bathroom Survival Guide is the book to read. Its chapters include descriptions of every conceivable type of toilet, as well as helpful hints on toilet etiquette, toilet privacy, and toilet paper, among other relevant topics. There's even a brief history of the toilet for those with a historical bent. Going Abroad makes for great bathroom reading at home while you prepare for that next trip to Upper Uzbekistan. |
