Inventive spaces

Since I´ve been away I have kind of become obessed with toilets. Not just because a good one is often hard to find but some people think of them as more than just a functional space. After this one in Panama I have since come across this in one Ecuador.

A sort of toilet come research facility.



After you`ve spent time alone with your thoughts you can write your comments and categorise them into music, food, service and other.



Probably my best so far is this one also in Ecuador. I stayed at The Black Sheep Inn eco-lodge and this is the view from the number two.



And not like many ´Eco-lodges´ that are simply holes in the ground and you need to take your own toilet paper with you - this is a real one. Complete with a dry toilet where the remnants are fed to the ducks whose eggs make the Brownies you can by for a dollar.



I like the fact that people who have no perception of how things should be create things in the way that they actually should be. If that makes sense at all...

You aren't the only one. My mate Ian did the same thing when he came back from travelling.

Check his blog out (the first 4 posts are all about loos around the world):
