Toilets!

I've learned that there are many different words used for "bathroom". People who live in the United States usually say "bathroom" or "restroom". People from other countries say "water closet", "washroom", and even just "toilet".

Bathrooms also look different in other countries too. Where we stayed in Asia, there was no bathtub or shower. There was just a shower on the wall next to the toilet. There wasn't a shower curtain or even hot water! I didn't know that many people in Asia take cold showers. We are so lucky to have hot water in our houses, especially when it's cold outside. 

Here's a picture of our bathroom in our hotel in Makassar, Indonesia. we only stayed here one night.  There is something missing and it's really strange! 

Do you know what it is? 

If you think it's the toilet paper, that would be a good guess but not everyone in the world uses toilet paper either. Do you see the little hose by the toilet? That is what is used instead of toilet paper.

Okay, I'll tell you what is missing... It is the sink! 

I sure do like visiting other countries because there are so many things that are different. 

We're on our way to a new country right now. I have been to 3 countries so far. Do you remember which ones? Get out your map and find them! Maybe you can guess where we are headed next!
