Rare Squatting Toilet,Roca,Shau Kei Wan,Hong Kong Island

I don't usually take photos of new toilets.If you know me,I only favour old toilets.

I had to take this photo because it is really rare to find a squatting Roca.If you are a toilet enthusiast like me,you will know what I mean.Rocas are usually sitting toilets.

So here you are,a squatting Roca.


This toilet was taken at Tung Hei Road Public Toilet,Shau Kei Wan,Hong Kong Island.When I first saw the exterior,I wasn't impressed.It looked very new.I expected some Kimwares,Johnson Suisses or Armitage Shanks...

So the moral of the story is...:Don't judge a toilet by it's exterior.

Explore every single toilet,make sure you see everything before judging it.If not,you might regret your decision.

This toilet is flushed by stepping on a pedal on the wall.I believe the cistern is hidden,because I tried a consecutive flush and it failed.

I will try to shoot this on video this coming trip.Stay tuned.

That does look new, very shiny aswell, thanks for posting that never seen one of these before.

Know you said the older toilets have the brand logo facing outwards? this one looks new but the brand logo is facing outwards not up...

Yeah,I was surprised too,when I saw the brand logo facing outwards.

This is probably one of the rare designs.
