In Going Abroad we learn of squat toilets, Chinese group latrines, automated English street toilets, the proper use of toilet-paperless toilets, how to use a bidet, and how to find a toilet where you do not speak the language (hint: pantomime). Eva Newman covers just about every contingency you might encounter, from the tropics to Antarctica (really!). You won't want to leave home without it.

Book Description
The staggeringly different toilets to be found abroad can confound and frustrate even the most intrepid travelers. This unique guidebook gives solid and humorous advice on using the multitudes of public facilities-from how to actually flush a high-tech toilet in Japan to etiquette when using a Chinese unisex public trench. It tackles the tough questions about dealing with dunnies in Australia and coping with the amazing spitting Russian toilet. Also included are survival tips for bidets, squat toilets, and pissoirs, as well as a brief history of toilets.
