| Hmmmm? well generally in New Zealand houses have a seperate room for the toilet. If you asked for the bathroom or washroom you probably would not find a toilet. Toilets have been given a variety of names. Dunny, longdrop, lav, lavatory, loo, bog, convenience, and if you are one of the "ancients" water closet or commode |

| But I imagine "toilet" will probably suffice, eh, mate? |

| I never had a problem finding the "rest room" when I was there. They have different slang, but they know what their visitors mean :) |
