The worst toilet of the year




...is that from Burger King, Wilmersdorf. The access is made with a silver coin you introduce in a box glued at a grey-white door. The smell is unbearable, the pavement is dirty and again, soap is scarce and again, the smell is bad. I tried to run as far as possible without thoughts of coming back too soon.

Old style restroom

Maybe some of my readers would object that writing about restrooms it's not such a high-intellectual topic. Wow. This is a simple blog written in various breaks from various trips and working and hectic projects where I want to enjoy freely my thoughts and a quality writing time. It's not about academic opportunities or  elitist approaches, as I have other playgrounds to juggle with such attractions.
When you are travelling or spending hours outside - this is the case now, when the summer blushed unexpectedly, with 30C today and 30+1C expected tomorrow - you will feel your physical limitations. As a tourist or a chilling-out citizen, you need...a restroom. And one good thing about Berlin is that you not only will find one such a "resting" place, but you can enter them without too many risks. I never visited such place during the night...
Public restrooms are most part of them free and - whatever the age or the design, the big majority are clean and safe. In the big shopping malls, you should pay a modic price - less than 1 euro - but it's normal to be thankful for the services you are offered.
The public restroom from the picture is near Rüdesheimer Platz, looks very old style - beginning of the 20th century - but inside is very clean and modern. It's worthy an exploration.
