Quezon city

I visited Quezon (Ke-zon) city yesterday (Friday), it's in the north of Manila, just had a walk around to see what it's like there. There wasn't much really there to see.

I did see these public toilets for men only, they just consisted of a privacy surround and a pipe discharged to a hole in the ground, they are in busy roads and they just feel strange as you can still see people as they pass you, from the outside it is very clear what you are doing... they may be basic but they work !!




I find some of the toilet facilities strange especially in the provinces, the toilets there are quite gruesome, one at the bus terminal in Cagayan was disgusting and they even charged you for the privilege of using it, 2 girls just sit there all day collecting the few pesos entrance fee.... nice job !!

Below is the sign before entry, now what I would like to know is, how would they know if you only paid the 1 pesos but used both facilities...... ??

CR.... is Comfort Room, that's what it's called here in the Phils.
Would anyone be honest and give the girls the 2 pesos, you might as well raise a banner saying to all " I'm just about to.....dispose" !!!!! Charming !!

Hi Gerard,

Nice to see your photos but you're
not in them. You could have put a photo on the site of you in the toilet that would have been amusing.

If thats the mens what do they have for ladies?

Been on to Helen tonight, she didnt have the computer on she was having a break.

Just going to bed before midnight have to be up at 8am tomorrow for church.

Take care

Lol

Hi Anne, Yes it certainly would but may not want we want to see.
Nothing for the ladies as it isn't as easy to provide for them.
Has Helen learned to send an email yet.
