This man plans to write a book about his experience with every type of public toilet in the world.
Travel writer and blogger Graham Askey has traveled across 91 countries and has journeyed over 75,000km with one goal: to find the dirtiest public toilet in the world. He plans to call the toilet “the perfect hell hole.”
One of Graham Askey’s unique feats was to find a toilet in the former Soviet republic of Tajikistan that had only an old potty with a few boards around it and was described as not intended for use. weak-hearted people.
But according to Askey, one of his most horrifying experiences was an immaculate toilet built with a few curtains and spilled waste in the Ayni area, also in the northern republic of Tajikistan.
Describing this horrible toilet, Askey said:
“Those who want to use it have to cross the road, surrounded by rats and snakes and insects. All it has is a few rocks and a curtain that couldn’t be more torn.”
Even Askey was shocked to learn that people who use this toilet will use that curtain as “cleaning paper”. He exclaims:
“It must be desperate for people to step into that toilet. There was no toilet paper and people used a curtain to…”
During his journey, Askey found many equally terrible public toilets, directly competing with the two above for the title of “perfect hell hole”.
Sharing about his journey to discover public toilets around the world, the 58-year-old man invested about 169,000 USD and started doing it last year, after seeing a dirty toilet coming. unusable levels during a trip to Morocco a few years ago.
From that point on, Askey became interested in photographing public restrooms that he saw as the worst. After amassing a decent album of photos, he even sent them to the Urals & Toilet Restoration & Design Association – TURDS for short.
Askey says:
“Believe me, the public toilets that I photographed are the most horrible places on earth. I bet it’s rare that anyone can spend a few minutes in there, except in the most unfortunate circumstances.”
Askey said, he has seen people use a washbasin instead of a toilet in Bangladesh and a bathtub that does the same thing in China.
During his journey, Askey said that the most polite and “genuine” toilet he had ever experienced was in Indonesia, although this “toilet” only consisted of a chair with a hole cut out so that it could be used. sit up and be shackled around. But Askey himself must have been shocked to learn that this toilet was located in the middle of the village and…. shared by the whole village.
