greenlaker Posted September 23, 2018 #1 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Do we need coin for public washrooms in Samoa, Fiji, New Caledonia, Australia, New Zealand? We have often only been able to find coin operated toilets in Europe if we didn’t want to buy anything in a restaurant. Any other toilet peculiarities we should know such as what to call them if we are looking for them. Not all English speakers understand Canadian terms , eh, my American friends.

mef_57 Posted September 24, 2018 #2 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Call it a toilet. That is what it is and it is a universal name. Couching it by some other delicate term confuses more than clarifies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markanddonna Posted September 24, 2018 #4 Share Posted September 24, 2018 I was in Fiji, New Caledonia, etc last fall and don't recall the need for coins for any restroom. You are correct about Europe. You will find some signs to teach you to not stand/squat on the toilet seat, don't put your soiled tissue in the waste receptacles, etc. Seems that some third world visitors need instructions.
