Going to the "happy place"

One thing I forgot to write about yesterday was the new euphamisim we learnt for the toilet.  As we drove along our guide asked if we wanted to stop at the happy place.  It took a bit of explanation to work out what this was but we figured it out and pulled up to the fanciest rest stop I've ever seen.

The facilities themselves were very good but to really encourage you to stop, revive, survive there was a gift shop (of non-toilet related handicrafts) a cafe, outdoor seating and a gorgeous lotus pond.  It truly was a happy place.

And as such we now have a new measuring stick for toilet breaks.  Someone returns from relieving themselves and is generally asked to rate the experience on the happiness scale.  This is a term that will no doubt live on!
