I know this is on the top of everyones minds because I get tons of e-mail asking what the toilets are like in New Zealand.
Questions like: “Do they flush counter clockwise?” “Are they white?” “Do they use water or something else that I don’t even know about?”
Well I am going to set the record straight…
I am sorry to disappoint you all but the toilets are pretty much the same here as in North America.

The biggest difference is that they all have two flush modes. #1 and #2 as depicted in the above picture.
They seem to flush really fast too so there isn’t really a spinning water motion like in toilets back home…it just kind of sucks all the water straight out.
