意味
To ask for the location of a restroom.
文化的背景
Public toilets often have a 'Toilettenfrau' or 'Toilettenmann' (attendant). Even if there is a fixed price, it is customary to leave a small tip (50 cents) on a saucer. In Vienna, some historic public toilets are famous for their architecture and music (like the 'Opera Toilet'). They are treated almost like mini-museums. Public toilets in Switzerland are exceptionally clean and often free in public parks, but can be expensive in train stations. The 'Nette Toilette' sticker on a shop window means you can use their restroom for free, even if you aren't a customer.
