In Search of the 00 WC

Last week when walking in Jerusalem one evening, I realized that finding a 00 WC would be a good idea, or I'd have to take a bus to my destination, even though I had time for a walk.  Suddenly I realized/remembered that the Mamilla Mall was just ahead and they had "facilities."  So, I went in.

I'd been to the Mamilla Mall before and certainly knew where the 00 WC was, but it wasn't. I walked up and down the "street" between the stores... yes, starting to panic.  I finally asked for help and was told that it was in the "Gap," yes the branch of the American store.

It's like a mall within the mall with a number of tempting stores, tempting for those with both time and money.  I followed the signs and found this one:

The toilets are locked
You must go up a floor
Our apologies

So, I went up.

There I was greeted by another sign:
The toilets are locked
Temporarily for cleaning
Our Apologies

Nu, this wasn't good, so I went back to the first one, and then back again. Maybe the cleaning was finished.  Nope.

Then a worker pointed to another sign:

Toilets W.C.
Floor -2

Finally, I was greeted by the least comfortable toilet seat ever designed:

I kid you not.  Yes, it's a rectangular seat.  It must have been invented by a man!
