    This is strange , I live in Holland and I still have trouble picturing this toilet in my mind..

    As far as I can tell , the toilets I have in my house are quite ordinary..

    Trust me your country has them. Although you do have plenty of normal ones as well.

    Places that I can recall off the top of my head that had them include the Esther museum and the restaurant Babellen, both in Den Haag (and both of which are pretty good). But thats not conclusive. The Domtoren in Utrecht may also have them, I am not sure... (you can see how this has scarred my mind).

    I can get the not splashing thing, but the inspection sounds like a co-incidental benefit- those who check will probably do so anyway. But this is nothing like as easy to keep clean as what I'm used to.

    And its not that weird a thread. I could have started a thread on nose hair removal... now THAT would be weird.

    Why is everyone bashing the hole? The hole is my favorite. It's much more natural.

    I am amazed this thread is still open.

    Google "german toilets" for all kinds of interesting explanations of the poo-shelf (my favorite descriptive phrase found, "the poop deck"). I will not post links, due to the heavy use of scatalogical terminology (amusing as it may be).

    Escher Museum and Babbelen. And does the Domtoren (which is a church's belltower) have toilets???

    Babbellen in The Hague? That would be Babylon, the shopping mall. Does that count as a museum these days?

    Brasserie Babbelen, Kettingstraat 1b, The Hague. I've eaten there once.
