I am down ... but I notice you conveniently over-looked the Abominable Snow man, Yehti & Chupacabra.... maybe you are actually one of those formidable foes are are setting a trap for our unsuspecting asses..quite cunning ...cunning indeed
I am lost.
I didn't mention them because.. I was too lazy to type again everything you menitoned. I would've mentioned them if they lived here. although, maybe they do but I just don't know. :cool:

I can't believe this thread is still alive long after my beer one died.
What do the toilets look like in finland? I've found that toilets vary a lot from country to country. eg single or double flush, sit or squat, 'vortex' style flushing vs 'cascade' style. And in the US they have those stupid arse gasket things, and nobody seems to be able to agree on how they're meant to be used.
Also showers. What are the showers like? Are they mostly combined shower/bathtub types like in america, or separate cubicles like in Australia? Are they sunk into the floor, or are they flush, allowing megalitres of water to spill all over the bathroom floor, like in Israel? Do you have separate hot and cold water taps, or one of those fiddly combined ones?

Never been to India. The worst toilet I ever saw was in Greece. I'm looking forward to seeing what toilets look like in Jordan and Egypt. Should be enlightening.

If you mean the southern united states, then yes. If you mean south america, no.
I've never really had the oppurtunity or the means to travel in most of the places I really want to go to, like Africa and South America. I will get there one day. The middle east is a pretty amazing part of the world though.

Chinese toilets were a good time. The standard ones, that is. The nicer hotels and buildings have Western-style, but many of the restaurants and older buldings had these porcelain-lined communal ... ditches, for lack of a better word. And the toilet paper was like, 20 feet away. I got pretty good at holding it ...
Actually, the toilets that you find at picnic areas in national parks in Australia can be pretty ordinary sometimes. They're almost always the longdrop dunny style, which can get pretty horrible when the mountain of shit under the seat has built up high enough. You also have the flies to contend with in those ones. We have one on our property that's just a toilet seat on top of an old oil drum. Doesn't even have a hole dug under it. Luckily it only gets used a couple of times a year, so nothing really has a chance to build up in it.
I'm sure I've been relatively spoilt though, having never been anywhere in Asia.

I meant THE GREY STATES. Confederate USA... Dixie... They can live in squalor as well... Their bathroom situation is abhorrent
I was actually born in Alabamba, but we left there when I was seven and my parents thankfully decided they needed to move back home before their kids turned into americans. We didn't live in squalor, but being a kid I didn't really get a chance to find out if anyone else did.

hello eMMI, I've been to finland, helsinki and turku for a wedding, I liked it a lot. Now let me try out a few words.....
Minkey = donut or monk?
Kippis = cheers, down the hatch, bottoms up etc
Keydos = thankyou. A girl at a check out laughed right in my face when I said that.... think I may have pronounced it a bit funny.
and that stuff that you chew, stick behind your lips, tobacco, liika? Goodstuff, don't think it has worn off yet, ha...............

what do toilets look like? now there's a question!
well.. they're not that big usually, just enough room for the toilet seat and a sink. depending on the house it's in. the older ones have single flush but never have double. (if I know what you mean. )
about your flushing guestion.. dunno.
bathtubs (as far as I know) aren't that common. but if there's one, it's usually combined with the shower. not sunk into the floor.
not separate taps. combined ones, you have to turn the tap to get hot and cold water.
nuff?

minkey? sorry, I don't get that, I tried saying it over and over in my head but it didn't sound any familiar at all.
not very polite of that girl.. kiitos (as it's spelled). really nice of you to say that, no matter how you pronounce it.
oh god I hate that stuff! I haven't tried it myself but.. it just isn't for me.
dunno if there's a word for it in English but in Finnish it's nuuska.. though in different areas there might be other words for it because of all the different dialects.

hey EmmI in Northern Finland do you have those unmanned petrol stations where they fill up your tank using mechanical arms so you don't have to leave your car?

I must admit that I really don't know! I've never been to Northern Finlad. well, I have but I never visited a gas station and it wasn't that North..
I must look to find the answer for this.

So your toilet is in a separate little room, not in the main bathroom with the shower. That's good. Keeps the fart gases separate from the shower. Unless you fart in the shower. . . .
What about the kitchen sink? They seem to vary a lot from country to country too. Do you use a plug and fill it with water to do the washing up, or do you let the tap run while you're washing? Do you have those stupid garbage munching, finger mangling, noisy things in the drain like the americans?
In Israel every kitchen sink has a little plastic thing in the corner where you throw things like vegetable peels and teabags. You take it out and empty it into the rubbish when it gets too full or too smelly.

eMMI, it looks like canada will be facing off with the flying finns once again in the semi finals of the world junior hockey tournament tonight. the finns beat rivals sweden 1-0 in overtime on monday to advance, after they beat the swiss 4-1 earlier in the week, and canada beat the US on saturday 3-2 to advance. i'll let you know when canda makes it to the finals...:D
eMMI, finland lost 4-0 to canada, i'm sorry to tell you...they'll be playing in the bronze medal game against either the US or russia. the finnish goalie, tuuka rask, made 39 saves though in the losing effort, and i forgot to mention that he made an astounding 53 saves against the swedes in the last game!
well, one last update. finland plays the US for the bronze medal. go finland! i hope your team kicks their arses! canada will be playing russia for the gold.

that depends actually. most (bigger) houses have two toilets, one that's a whole another room and one that's in the bathroom where the shower is.
if we wash dishes with our hands, of course we'll use a plug! I can't imagine the amount of water wasted if we'd leave the water running!
but I think most houses have dishwashers.
nope, we don't have them hell-machines.
some people here too have some container where they throw those teabags and all that. then when it's full, they compost it to get mould.

hehe nevermind, i dont think an american would understand what i said either, but an englishman/woman probably would.
i'll explain. i thought somebody was playing a joke on him/her. it's an informal saying, if somebody is "having a lend of you" or maybe "taking you for a ride" they're playing a joke on you
if you love somebody, set them free. if somebody loves you, don't fuck up
