In Mexico a washroom is called a bano. I found this little gem at a restaurant in Cuastecomates. At first glance I thought I was going to have to use a bucket...
But nope, this was actually the washroom....
Unfortunately this is typically what a public bano in small town Mexico looks like. It's not often you'll find a toilet seat and the tank rarely has a lid. I've seen countless toilets without handles and without running water. Due to poor plumbing you can't flush any toilet paper. So in busy restaurants or at the beach, garbage cans are always overflowing with used toilet paper. Yes you're right, it's disgusting. I can't say I'll ever get use to it, but when you've gotta go, you've gotta go. Hey dónde está el baño? ;)
