Jordan - Amman - 15-25, originally uploaded by Jeff_Werner.

The upstairs shared toilet in the Cliff Hotel.

Like most of the water closets I encountered in the Middle East, leave your used toilet paper in the nearby trash bin (plumbing can’t handle western style wiping).

This particular WC, though it had a flush chain, didn’t actually flush anything at all. After finishing my business I’d fill up a bottle at the sink and pour that in the bowl.
