Desperate for the loo in China? Here's what to say

There’s a time to be polite, a time to be posh, and a time when you just REALLY need to go.

From the rather refined 洗手间 (xǐshǒujiān) to the no-nonsense 厕所 (cèsuǒ), we're covering all the ways to talk toilets in Chinese. Squat toilets, seated toilets, public loos – you name 'em, we've used 'em.

Welcome to Actually Useful Mandarin, where we teach you the Chinese you'll actually use.

Save this one. Your bladder will thank you.
