Fellow Bloggers ---Something for you!

Recently I was sent an email about an new blog application. I know this is a bit off the travel topic, but I thought it would be fitting for others out there who also blog like myself. What it is, is an website where you can make slide shows and then blog about them. So if you were writing a blog about your trip to the beach, you could use this slide show application and have tons of photos being played in your blog more thoroughly giving an idea about what you did! You can view other peoples blogs and photos as well -- maybe you will even get an idea for you next trip this way!!

So whether you blog directly on the website, or attach it to your own website -- It is a great way to make your photo worth 1,000 words!

Here is an example from their site

When you got to go... you got to go!

Everyone does it, some just do it in fancy state of the art bathrooms while others go make friends with the woods. Either way, going to the bathroom is a way of life for creatures of all shapes and sizes. But what the group of people who created The Bathroom Diaries figured, is since we all must give in at some point... knowing what type of bathroom establishment is awaiting you can make the experience a much better one!

The Bathroom Diaries is a helpful and in a sense, comical website that any traveler can browse through to find a bathroom around the world. It provides a list of over 8,000 bathrooms of hotels, airports, and other public facilities around the globe, each with either a good or bad rating in terms of sanitization, safety, and aesthetics. Over 100 countries are included in this list such as Argentina, Australia, Bangladesh, Brazil, China, Egypt, Greece, Morrocco, South Africa and more.

The Bathroom Diaries allows you to add other bathrooms that you’ve used onto the list with your own ratings and comments. Not only do you get to submit your own experience with a bathroom in a foreign country, but you also get to nominate the best, unique and/or creative restroom you’ve ever seen into the Bathroom of the Week contest.

You can also read several amusing or disgusting travel essays submitted by other travelers’ personal experiences with the restrooms on The Bathroom Diaries’ Travel Essays section. If you want, you could also submit and share with other viewers your own bathroom tales for this site.
