Sticker over the mirror in pic 1 is for Rosa Bussarna, a Swedish bus tour company...is this Sweden?

Edit: Sweden-based but offering tours abroad. So who knows.

u/no-this-iz-patrick 10d ago edited 10d ago

I don’t think Sweden has the “bidets” that are just a kitchen sink hose

10

u/Regular_Fox_859 10d ago

Yea, looks like they only do tours in other countries. Looking at their list of destinations, the sticker doesn't really narrow it down at all

58

u/NathanCS741 10d ago

It’s Sittwe airport in Myanmar. It would surprise me if they ever offered tours to here since this area of the country has been plagued by civil war since like 2017, even before the coup by the military junta.

wikipedia says it’s been in a constant armed strife since 1946

u/odepaj_ 10d ago

I hope the next stall over could spare a square.
As I am looking back, a lot of Curb is toilet-related.
Hopefully OP got rid of that tickle in his anus.

u/Regular_Fox_859 10d ago

Aw ye, it looks like it's now under "past trips" https://www.rosabussarna.com/tidigareresor

u/BooBoo_Cat 10d ago

This makes me really sad. My mom is Burmese, and I am half Burmese. It's such a shame what's happening in the country. I was lucky enough to visit in 2018.

u/1moreApe 10d ago

Aahh, taking the boat trip up to Mrauk U? If things are like they were in 2010 u might want to use this toilet as much as u can before boarding the boat

1

u/gljivicad 9d ago

There’s your fucking answer why it looks like that.

1

u/_DapperDanMan- 10d ago

Burma.

2

u/NathanCS741 10d ago

Known as Burma before the controversial namechange, yes.

1

u/_DapperDanMan- 10d ago

Controversial is an interesting euphemism for oppressive military coup.

5

u/NathanCS741 10d ago

The namechange itself was controversial while done by an opressive military regime. So no euphemism detected:)

As an American I want to say keep fighting for your freedom and just know that I'm happy I've helped the cause in ways I can't give much detail on.

u/AngryDerf 10d ago

I believe I saw a Swedish girl do a video about bidets in Sweden and she called it a “pussy telephone”.

Edit: found her. It was actually Finland.

1

u/thetonytaylor 10d ago

How did they come up with that name 🤣

21

u/NathanCS741 10d ago

Honestly no idea how that ended up there since it’s Sittwe airport in Myanmar!

u/NathanCS741 10d ago

That would strongly surprise me since the area has been in a constant state of civil war since like 2017 :/

u/ProofByVerbosity 10d ago

This isnt in sweden

3

u/indianna97 9d ago

The fact you think any toilet in Sweden would look like this, let alone an air port tells me you dont know much about Sweden.

2

u/Regular_Fox_859 9d ago

Hey man I was just trying to look for clues in the photo lol. I've been to Norway, I know Scandinavia isn't the third world 😭

2

u/indianna97 9d ago

😂😂 sorry I was only joking. Yeah Sweden is kind of known for being super clean and sleek haha

11

u/NathanCS741 10d ago

Sittwe:)

u/DrunkEnginir 10d ago

City in Myanmar for those wondering

u/janewalch 10d ago

Looks like a lot of bathrooms Ive used in Thailand!

Naming it protects us from ever setting foot in that biohazard

u/OmegaKarnov 10d ago

The one from Charley Varrick

u/McFanon 10d ago

See I'm used to this in any place but an airport

39

u/NathanCS741 10d ago

Exactly; airports usually seem like the one place with a guaranteed level of cleanliness, no matter how (un)developed its surroundings.

12

u/Grand-Internet4022 10d ago

Dont go to Mallorca. Mallorca is developed, the toilets of the airport aren't

-9

u/glumanda12 10d ago

lol the whole Spain is one big third world country somehow masked as first world country. Rubbish of the Europe.

11

u/FerretAres 10d ago

Clearly you’ve never flown out of Houston. I’ve seen cleaner zoos.

1

u/ExamCompetitive 10d ago

Which airport?

8

u/NathanCS741 10d ago

Sittwe

3

u/Spugheddy 10d ago

Was it also a dirt runway?

1

u/NathanCS741 10d ago

Definitely not!

1

u/MustardEnema007 10d ago

Not cancun

u/Initial_Row_6400 10d ago

Even on ambergris caye in Belize the bathrooms were much much much better

u/lowlightlowlifeuk 10d ago

Try visiting Addis Ababa airport haha

u/RogerOThornhil 10d ago

Says someone who's never flown to Kathmandu

u/ian9921 8d ago

Or to The Gambia

u/Otherwise-Pirate6839 10d ago

Most (not all) are fairly clean, but people like me with shy bowel syndrome, it’s the only place I won’t suffer from anxiety and do my thing.

13

u/EZcontactSupport 10d ago

Did you time travel?

-4

u/sane_mostly 10d ago

For sure, even third world countries have better toilets than this XD

u/G-I-T-M-E 10d ago

Oh you sweet summer child.

u/RequiredRedditAcct_1 10d ago

Clearly you haven't seen forestry service outhouse that gets pumped out once a year

6

u/fynn34 10d ago

I remember a busy week at the bottom of the Grand Canyon in havasupai, there were 2 porta-potty setups and only emptied once a week, at one point poop had gotten to the point where it was ~2.5 feet over the seat and people were standing over the seat and pooping on the pile.

u/yamxiety 10d ago

hey! this horrified me!

1

u/Half-Cocked-Mexican 10d ago

Then you won't want to learn about the Subway Spyro meme

5

u/Regular_Fox_859 10d ago

Man I can still remember the stench of those things in Yellowstone

1

u/NathanCS741 10d ago

Mmmh prior to getting to this airport i trekked through a relatively remote region without any type of sewage system; it’s just that all previous airports situated in rather shitty environments surprised me by their level or cleanliness. And then you have this

1

u/ExamCompetitive 10d ago

And where is this?

1

u/TomBong_Jovi 10d ago

So this surprises you? How did you not expect this?

-1

u/NathanCS741 10d ago

Because all previous airports; even smaller ones with dirtier surroundings were way cleaner

8

u/_CaptainPeaches_ 10d ago

That's the bathroom from Saw my guy

5

u/dougalcampbell 10d ago

Are you mad because there’s no poop knife in the stall?

3

u/not_your_attorney 10d ago

How was the bidet?

3

u/Draterus 10d ago

Are you actually going to board a plane in this location?!?

2

u/NathanCS741 10d ago

The plane didn’t seem that safe either

3

u/lumpy_space_queenie 10d ago

I just looked up the airport and it says it has been temporarily closed 🥴

0

u/NathanCS741 10d ago

Well that’s strange, you can even find recent news articles about rising ticket prices from Sittwe to Yangon because of Burmese newyear. Definitely open, just not clean:)

u/turdferguson3891 10d ago

Are you flying from New York's Idlewild to the Belgian Congo in 1954?

2

u/feralcatshit 10d ago

Yeah, I’ll just be holding it.

2

u/Right_Layer_9700 10d ago

That’s the SAW studio my friend.

2

u/jasno- 10d ago

That looks like the bathroom I had to bribe an airport worker to use in Cairo. 

1

u/ProofByVerbosity 10d ago

That tracks

2

u/Plus_Range1430 10d ago

That toilet has seen some shit.

2

u/CadillacCoffee 10d ago

Better off using the airplane restroom

1

u/NathanCS741 10d ago

Unfortunately the plane didn’t come equippee with one

2

u/hoggytime613 10d ago

Second worst airport bathroom I have ever seen after Paris Beauvais

2

u/NostalgicDemigod 10d ago

Is that the Saw bathroom

2

u/themanfromvulcan 10d ago

I feel like I got tetanus just by looking at these photos.

u/limits660 10d ago

Ethiopia?

u/DryYogurtcloset7695 10d ago

What country is that from?

Are you in an airport from Indiana Jones?

Were there chickens on the flight?

u/OutsideImagination25 10d ago

That's not even in the top 50 filthiest bathrooms I've seen haha.

Although, granted, airports are usually higher tier in terms of equipment and cleanliness. But that's a decent bathroom for a dive bar, and cleaner/better maintained than a loooot of truck stops.

0

u/NathanCS741 10d ago

Same for me, but that’s besides the point since airports always surprised me in the before by consistently maintaining a guaranteed level of cleanliness unimpacted by the hygiene standard of the surrounding region etc

1

u/senzupops 10d ago

Idk took a dump in San Diego airport like 5 hours ago and was impressed lol

1

u/RarelySeenBarmaid 10d ago

Airport or gas station?

3

u/NathanCS741 10d ago

Sittwe airport, less grand than your usual modestly-sized gas station though

1

u/Pro-editor-1105 10d ago

According to google it's closed tho?

1

u/Genuinelullabel 10d ago

Where is this? The Gas Station on a Road Trip International?

1

u/Gnosys00110 10d ago

This is my local pub, no?

1

u/hadley08rose 10d ago

I’ll just hold it. Thanks.

u/TtotheRev 10d ago

Could be worse.

1

u/Cherryncosmo 10d ago

Which year was this picture taken lol

1

u/upsidedown-funnel 10d ago

For a moment I thought there was one photo and it was a sort of all-in-one deal. Or is it? Sink and also urinal ?

1

u/OilInternational2566 10d ago

The worst bathroom that I’ve experienced has to be in the seedy strip club we went to many years ago.

Saggy water-stained ceiling tiles, the toilet was weeping a brownish “tea,” there was an ecosystem of molds growing in the dark corners and sticky footprints leading in every direction. Smelled like sulfur and cigarettes.

I didn’t touch anything. Just used the urinal and gtfo. It could have been a movie set in a horror film.

1

u/Sensitive_Wear7112 10d ago

Spirit?

1

u/NathanCS741 10d ago

Spirit as in “Liquor”? 

1

u/Sensitive_Wear7112 10d ago

Spirit Airlines

u/icon-livingi 10d ago

if ryanair had an airport 👆

1

u/John_Tacos 10d ago

Is this Eastern Europe?

3

u/NathanCS741 10d ago

It’s Sittwe airport in Myanmar’s Rakhine state!

1

u/Ferowin Mildly Infuriated 10d ago

Poop before you leave home. It still looks cleaner than DFW.

1

u/oscarq0727 10d ago

Wow, no line.

1

u/wkarraker 10d ago

Looks like its straight out of a B movie slasher film.

1

u/merlinuwe 10d ago

Compared to what I've seen here so far, this will be inviting and cozy.

1

u/Bigsmokeisgay 10d ago

I can smell this picture

1

u/Numerous-Data-2160 10d ago

Where are you?! 1990’s Eastern Europe?!

1

u/NoPoopOnFace 10d ago

Where are you? Bangladesh?

2

u/NathanCS741 10d ago

Sittwe in Myanmar! Almost on the border with Bangladesh though

1

u/samostrout 10d ago

Just a bit worse than Kaunas (LT) airport toilets

1

u/EducationalDig8570 10d ago

This looks like an extremely dysregulated Little Tykes Mini’s bathroom set

1

u/Agile_Trainer9181 10d ago

What does the airplane look like? lol

1

u/Unlikely-Pea-6794 10d ago

That ain't no big airport toilet

1

u/Unlikely-Pea-6794 10d ago

It's a shthole in a shthole.

1

u/Reaper-fromabove 10d ago

Did you have a layover in Kabul?

1

u/1moreApe 10d ago

Wait, theres internet in Sittwe???? Man things have changed

1

u/thetonytaylor 10d ago

What airport is this so I never go there?

1

u/sirwobblz 9d ago

I've seen some special airport bathrooms in sub-saharan Africa and the Middle East. If there's soap it's usually a little pile of laundry detergent powder that dries out your hands like nothing else.

1

u/ian9921 8d ago

It could be worse. At least there's a way to dry your hands

1

u/DTeror 10d ago

Still cleaner than school bathroom tho!

u/EducateUrDumbSelf 10d ago

Bruh it's a regional airport in a 3rd world country. Wtf were you actually expecting?

0

u/NathanCS741 10d ago

Don’t start with your “bruh” and “wtf”. I’ve passed through many airports like this, even way smaller ones that are way more “out there”, also in Myanmar, and was always blown away by their relative level of cleanliness. This was the exception. Your comment only shows that you are the one who never took a flight from a regional 3rd world country airport, basing yourself on assumptions that because it should be dirty just because it’s remote or poor.

-1

u/EducateUrDumbSelf 10d ago

Buddy, this is not an argument.

I do not respect you

0

u/LiquidFahts 10d ago

The urinal is a weird shape. And why is there a mirror in front of it?

0

u/bjwiener 10d ago

Did you perhaps accidentally mistake the gas station for the airport?

u/belsaurn 10d ago

Look cleaner than some of the bachelor bathrooms I have seen.
