toilets and taxes

Australia's taxes could be a lot lower. Check out this insanely intricate National Public Toilet Map. This government website allows you to find public toilets all over australia.

You can use the Trip Planner to identify toilet stops for a journey!!

And dont forget to Register for My Toilet Map to save your trips, favourite destinations and public toilets!!

There's even a FAQ section..."How can I use the Toilet Map with my Global Positioning System (GPS) device?"

I just planned a journey from the local mexican restaurant back to my house. just in case of any digestive "repercussions".

update!!

Just in case people have been checking this site…

As you can tell, I’ve slowed down on my entries. This is a result of several different reasons. They are summarised below:

1. The honeymoon is over. I’ve settled into a normal life. The Australian way of life is starting to seem normal and not as funny to me. Thus, it’s harder to write about. I’ve even caught myself saying “how ya goin?”. And a lot of my sentences sound like questions? I refer to french fries as "chips". And I always want to end an email with “cheers”. I’m almost Australian.
2. I unfortunately have totally been sucked into Australia’s “so you think you can dance”. It’s on a lot. But I’m trying to go off it cold turkey.
3. My $4000 internet bill is sorted out. I’ve got a new internet company with a whopping 5gb of monthly usage, so I am back to internet activities that revolve around torrents, celeb gossip, and porn (I’m kidding, mom). I don’t have anytime to blog.
4. My free office trial expired, and I don’t have any good software to fix it. And it is a pain in the arse to upload large pictures that aren’t compressed for webpages. (But new office is being shipped soon!)

Okay, okay. So those aren’t really reasons, but just a bunch of excuses. I’m just lacking the inspiration lately I guess. But not to worry. Luckily I have two getaway trips that I still need to blog on, along with heaps of photos. (catch that?? “heaps” = very Australian). Upcoming blogs are summarised below. (Catch that? Replacing the “z” with an “s” = definitely not American!)

1. The lycra industry scam – lycra “stinger suits” are meant to protect people from jelly fish stings, but in reality full of holes, flaws, and probably just god’s big joke to make us all look 30lb heavier at the beach.
2. Australia Day – downunder’s version of the fourth of July… but on CRACK!!
3. Sydney – and every single imaginable angle of the Opera House.
4. Awkward encounters – showing my American passport to an Afghan bouncer who had a lot to say about the US.
5. Result of awkward Encounter – I’ve decided to get a Queensland Driver’s license and wonder how the Aussie DMV compares to ours. I’m planning on going on Friday. I have tons of questions. (eg Does it smell faintly of urine like the TC Jester DMV? Will I be scared to touch things? Will people be really rude? Will the line be ridiculous? Should I bring Purell? Also, I’ve heard you aren’t allowed to show teeth in passports here. Can I smile in my license photo?)
6. Tax dollars and Toilets. This one is coming up first. Directly after this post. It’s definitely the most inspiring, hilarious, and informative of upcoming topics.
