معنی
Asking for the location of the restroom.
زمینه فرهنگی
Most bathrooms are 'wet'. Don't be surprised if the floor is soaked; it's from the use of water for cleaning. Using the euphemism 'ke belakang' (to the back) is considered very refined and polite. In tourist areas, 'toilet' is universal, but in temples, you must wear a sarong even to go to the restroom. Malls have world-class facilities, but you might still see a 'jet washer' instead of paper.
Add 'Ya'
Adding 'ya' at the end (Di mana toiletnya ya?) makes you sound much more like a local and softens the request.
Wet Floors
Always assume the floor is wet. Walk carefully to avoid slipping.
