Roman Style Toilets (James, Taiwan)

Hi there,

I review some photos which I took in New Zealand when my family traveled to there on Sep, 2005. There are 2 photos about Rome Style Toilets are interesting. I forget where I took these photos, just know that was somewhere in south island of New Zealand.
Photo 1


Photo 2:


The written words post on the wall are:

“ROMAN STYLE
TOILETS
Why? Just for fun!
View the diorama (mural) from the centre of the room for best perspective.
Take a fascinating photograph!
Roman toilets often had running water under the seats (flush toilets).
Romans also carried a brush as part of their personal toiletries. This brush
was used instead of toilet paper.
The toilets in this room are to look at-
Not to use!


May all of you enjoy your toilet.

Best regards
