"bathroom" news and stories

I remember a friend once telling me that it is considered to rude to get up and step away from the table to use the restroom in the middle of a meal. Either "take care of business" before sitting down at the table, or wait until after dinner is over. Well, now you don't have to worry about it either way, because the bathroom is the restaurant!

Well, not exactly. This is a toilet-themed restaurant. Patrons sit on toilets at a table that looks like a glass top over a very large basin/sink. Sitting on toilets might be weird enough, but eating out of dishware that looks like toilets and urinals? Uh, no thank you. I'm not exactly sure which country this restuarant calls home - it looks to be Chinese, but for some reason, something as silly and weird as a toilet-themed restaurant just screams "Japanese!" to me.
