I lived in Andong for a year back in 2001, and yes I remember this ghastly washroom at the bus station. However, I think this bus station is gone. I was in Andong for the 2012 Mask Festival and there is brand new bus station. The old bus station is now a HomePlus, so if you ever visit Andong again, you are in for a washroom treat! 🙂

@SueZ444: …and that’s why no Seoul toilet has made it onto my World’s Worst Toilet list. Seoul’s got nice posh western toilets, which heat your bum and give you a good washing… From what I hear about China’s toilet, sounds like one trip would give me many ‘add’s to my list. And a nice bout of culture shock.

I beg to differ – I think China’s toilets are way worse than Korea’s – at least, when I was in Seoul, they didn’t seem half bad.

Yuck, that is the WORST. I’m only 5’8″, but regularly feel like a giant when I travel in Asia… and the toilet sitch just AIN’T GOOD for us!

In reply to Joanne. @Joanne: Well, Korea is generally one of the cleaner cities I've been to. And I have to give them credit for how they shot up in the past 10 years, to be a country on the map. The smaller cities still have old facilities; wouldn't say its bad or anything (it's tradition) but just uh, ajumma-sized.

I hope that the government of Korea will take action from it in order to lift up the real beauty of Korea… Not as this dirty ones.

I’ve been to that restroom and you’re right it’s way too small. Thankfully I was with friends so it was a rotation of who was holding who’s packs so the others could go in and do their business.
