Bathroom,Toilet or Washroom?

People all around the world have different names for the bathroom (that is how Americans say it). Europe and West Africa- toilet and/or washroom. My friends here have told me that they don't want to call it bathroom because it sounds like the person would go there to bath (we say bathe), so there would be no toilet. Well, in my mind I am thinking, well the word wash room means no different to me, but I guess it means something different to them. Maybe we should just call it toilet.

I have seen some pretty funny bathroom signs for men and woman. I saw one at "Davis Noodle City", I don't have pictures of that, sadly, but they were very funny. I have also seen one this past week on our trip to Burkina Faso (the country just north of Ghana). We were at a national park called Mole, and we were just about to leave for a safari, when me and Rockwell both had to go to the bathroom (or should I call it washroom, or toilet?). We had just got to the door and looked up to make sure we were not going in the wrong room, and we both said," Oh my gosh!" (you will see why when you see the pics) then we started to laugh and called my parents over (they laughed to).

We also heard of another way to go-on-the-road. It is called a "flying toilet". 

Here are the steps you need to go through for a flying toilet:

#1- Find a polly bag (grocery bag)

#2- Defecate in the polly bag

#3- Tie a knot with the handles of the polly bag

#4- Throw it out the window (yuck!)

Apparently this is one of the biggest problems Ghana is facing.
