Toilet with clean water tap. You cannot find a toilet without a tap in Turkey.

Alaturka toilet. Traditional toilet of the Turks. It is also the only type of toilet recommended by doctors. It also builds leg muscles.

We always put a lace cover over most things. The reason is to prevent dust.


Let's see what things will come up that will surprise us. 🙂

Would something bad happen if you cross the streams?👻

Egon Spengler: There's something very important I forgot to tell you.
Peter Venkman: What?
Egon Spengler: Don't cross the streams.
Peter Venkman: Why?
Egon Spengler: It would be bad.
Peter Venkman: I'm fuzzy on the whole good/bad thing. What do you mean, "bad"?

Are you seriously trying to tell me (tell us), @AhmetRyzen, that, in a country that boasts the history, cuisine and culture of Turkey, a country that is home to the wonders of Istanbul, the legend of Troy, the glories of Ephesus, - among many other things - the incredible history of the entire Black Sea region, a country that has given us Turkish coffee, amazing lentil soup, superb salads, even Efes beer, not to mention terrific leather jackets, that the "most interesting things" your country has - that you have chosen to highlight - are a variety of different toilets?

NEVER cross the streams!

That Alaturka toilet doesn't seem compatible with older people.

Or women.

Or women, or older people, or women and/or older people who may have enjoyed a beer, or glass or two of wine.

Suffice to say that this design is not unique to Turkey.

In fact, I have encountered this lamentable model in the Baltic states, the Caucasus, and, also, in central Asia, (with - on one unfortunate occasion - tragic - and irretrievable - consequences for the mission mobile phone, or cell phone, that had been assigned to me, and I devoutly thank the divinities whose existence I doubt that it wasn't a sat phone, for, I had also been assigned one of those - a colleague awaiting me outside was convulsed with laughter at the sheer fluency of my complete command of Anglo-Saxon oaths), and no, I don't care how healthy or strong one's legs are supposed to become, no, no, no, thank you.

I’ve also experienced widespread use of squat toilets in the south east Asia, specifically Thailand.

Got help the people who "miss the target."

I took my now wife on trip to France in 1994 and we stopped at one of those gas station/ restroom places on the freeway/motor way ( the ones you pay for) and guess what? We had to find a place with a sit down toilet for her…

😂

At least it is narrow enough to prevent one from falling in, but I imagine that falling on the floor tiles around it would cause quite a pain on one's rear end.
