Abandoned Longbranch Motel
Posted: May 18, 2019 Filed under: Abandoned Toilets, Broken Toilets, Canadian Toilets, Dirty Toilets, Sudbury, ON 1 CommentI was driving along Highway 69 to Sudbury, Ontario and happened to notice a creepy abandoned motel just north of a tiny settlement called Still River. I couldnāt help but pull in to check it out and Iām so glad I did. What a place this was! Iām always down to explore derelict buildings; throw some abandoned toilets into the mix and Iām in heaven. Hereās a literal suite of the most disgustingly dilapidated shitters Iāve seen in my life.
According to the Ontario Abandoned website, this is the Longbranch Motel and has remained abandoned by side of the highway since the early 2000’s.
Mr Toilet: The World’s #2 Man
Posted: April 29, 2019 Filed under: Toilet videos, World Toilet Day 2 CommentsDan from Toilography got the chance to chat to Jack Sim – global sanitation crusader and founder of the World Toilet Organization & the United Nations-recognized World Toilet Day!
He was in town with director Lily Zepeda for the premiere of the film, Mr Toilet: The World’s #2 Man at the Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival, which details his dedication to the loo:
“To a stranger, heās a guy obsessed with toilets, but to those who know him, heās āMr. Toilet,ā a crusader in global sanitation. Born in the Singapore slums, Jack Sim knows firsthand the agonies of not having a proper loo. Now, heās dedicating his life to a crisis no one dares talk about: Shit. Using humor as his main weapon, he plunges into his biggest challenge yet when he is asked to secure 6 million toilets for the āClean Indiaā initiative. But with few resources and no help from the government, his epic project and reputation are in jeopardy.”
Also make sure you catch the end of the chat to hear Jack’s hilarious poop joke! Thanks so much Jack and Lily for your time and wishing you the best of success with the film.

Abandoned toilets at Castle Hill
Posted: April 20, 2019 Filed under: Australian Toilets, Broken Toilets, Outdoors, Regional Queensland Leave a commentLate at night my brother and I paid a visit to a side of Townsville’s Castle Hill that neither of us had been to before. Instead of heading up the usual Castle Hill Road, we ventured to a little-known entrance in Garbutt and had fun exploring some old abandoned, graffiti-clad rooms close to an old disused quarry, dotted around the hill’s southern incline.
I was amused to come across what must have once been a block of toilets, who knows how many decades ago. All that remains today were a couple of footprints of where the crappers used to be, and some piping which appeared to have some toilet paper stuffed inside.
Here’s one of the other abandoned rooms I was talking about, covered in local tags:
Pi$$ off the Dragon and $hit on the Peony
Posted: April 11, 2019 Filed under: Chinese Toilets, Tiles, Toilet Art Leave a commentAt first glance these tiled toilet walls at Shanghaiās Museum of Contemporary Art look like beautiful red & blue flowers:
But take a closer look at exactly what theyāre made up of š
That’s right – the flowers actually consist of a myriad of highly NSFW curse words and phrases includingĀ $HITTYPARTY, $HITTYPEOPLE, EATYOUR$HIT, THE FUCKINGRICH, PISSMONEY and YOURFUCKINGDIRTYHAND$
No wonder this 2007 exhibition by Tsang Kin-Wah is titled āPi$$ off the Dragon and $hit on the Peonyā. A true toilet art masterpiece.
Suzhou’s relatively clean toilets
Posted: April 10, 2019 Filed under: Chinese Toilets, Public Toilets Leave a commentUnlike the toilets I covered in my post about Suzhou’sĀ lack of sanitation, there were some relatively clean and well-maintained loos dotted around the city in the areas frequented by tourists. Many of them were staffed by what appeared to be a full-time cleaner. Here’s a sample of some of them.

The artistic entrance to a modern-style toilet block just west of the Pingjiang pedestrian area

Very clean and modern inside this toilet block

Another public toilet close to the touristic area of Suzhou

Perhaps not as sanitized on the inside as it could have been but at least the facilities themselves were modern

Suzhou squatter at Panmen Gate

Yet another modern, staffed toilet close to the Pingjiang pedestrian area

Cute toilet sign!
