Of all the euphemisms for a toilet in the world, the Vietnamese 'happy room' has to be my favourite.
While in Vietnam, you can hear frequent cries of "there's the happy room", "please go to the happy room before we leave" and, my personal favourite when stopping at a petrol station to use the squat toilet:
"That is not a very happy room."

About Me
- Lee Tennant
- We're a group of geographically dispersed Aussie girls who love books and wanted to create a book club that didn't require us to be in the same city. Or state. Or country even. Then we thought, hey maybe we might want to discuss other stuff too.
Take the universe and grind it down to the finest powder and sieve it through with the finest sieve and then show me one atom of justice, one molecule of mercy. And yet you act as if there were some sort of rightness in the universe by which it may be judged.
"Yes. But people have got to believe that or what's the point."
My point exactly.
