Great World City - Around the World in Bathrooms


I am always intrigued with the washrooms in Great World City. You can be in a different country when you enter the washroom. The mall has this wonderful concept of showcasing the different country or identity of a country through the washroom.

Every washroom (there are 7 of them, known as "The Seven Wonders") has a different theme. You can find yourself in the land of the rising sun, or the land of windmills and tulips or elsewhere. They are depicted through wall murals and motifs and designs.

I don't believe I have been to all seven, but what I remembered most are the Dutch and Japanese themed washrooms.

Hmmm....maybe I should just explore all seven of them afterall, just for knowledge sake.

yea, it's a very neat idea. when GWC first opened, many people went around "exploring" all the washrooms. i remember the egyptian one most (cuz it's at the foodcourt level) :P think there's a jungle-themed one too. one of these days we should catch a movie there (maybe "devil wears prada"?) and then go around snapping pics. of the washrooms. hehe... something different to do.

Yes! Let's do that some day. So far the only one that really stuck in my mind is the dutch theme, with the clogs and windmills.
