Toilets of Belgium

Belgium is the home of surrealism, and sometimes that is suggested by its toilets.

Here is a large church in Brussels, just across from the statues of the vomiting goats.

Hmmm. What's that under the portico on its side?

Ah. It's a row of open-air urinals.

Speaking of open-air urinals, European toilet facilities often have a common hand-washing area shared by women and men. That makes sense, why waste space on duplicate sinks?

The urinals are often in an open alcove off that area. This example at Brussels' Mappa Mundi bar shows the view from the common sink.
