this made us laugh - not entirely true, but this is golden - have a red thing :`D
Long had I been a wanderer - a nomad. With no place to call home, I was forced to make the world it. I have traveled far and wide, from toilet to toilet, drifting across the globe. At long last, a sense of stability appears. I gaze upon its glistening magnificence. A tall throne fit for a king, forged in flames and adorned in gold. As I let myself upon its rest, all the years of doubt and hardship melted away. Yes. I had found it. Yes. It was here. The struggle was over.
I had found my place in the world.

This is the best sentence I've seen on Duolingo. And I was once taught how to say "your pig is ugly" on the Spanish course. So I know what I'm talking about, guys.
I know I have seen many sentence that are funny for example: that cat knows and this still is my favorite
One time in Spanish I learned how to say you look big and fat in that ugly sweater
Other good sentences on Duo include: That banana sleeps. Your Pig is ugly. This cat knows. Tini got out of the toilet. That cat doesn't like black dresses. That banana is eating an orange.

When a person is suffering from a diarrhoea or a stomachache and has to go to a toilet, but it is occupied or there is no available water. He/she has to go to other toilets, but they are occupied as well.
At last, the feces .... (you can continue the story).
You mean : finding a ‘clean’ toilet? As a woman, sometimes I have to exclude some cubicles because they are drowning in water. So, I go from toilet to toilet
I think 'kamar kecil' would translate better into 'bathroom' or 'toilet room'. Personally I use the borrow word "WC" for bathroom but this is probably referring to the literal object of a toilet.
Thanks. I'm trying to re-learn my school Indonesian, and I was like "But Pak Esdaile said it was kamar kecil?" I thought it might be possible that the common form had changed since the 90's, or that the designer of this course was a bit less conservative than whoever designed the course I took at school.
There are two ways, the dictionary hint for toilet lists kamar kevil, but toilet is much easier to learn and memorise
This is a fascinating one...because it actually implies lots about the culture, the local economics, etc itself.
For this to be a "common" phrase locally implies it's actually a common problem. This phrase doesn't exist in places where this is not as common an issue. So interesting.
(PS - To be sure, other places have their own, other problems, for sure! IJS - language is fascinating as you learn much more than just 'words', alone.)
This is not a reality situation in New York, for instance. To find a toilet, it is a Calvary.

ha ha It's a "A scientific toilet research" ... lol Q: What kind of toilet do you like? A: I like big red toilet
John felt sick after drinking the tap water in his hotel. As he wandered through the streets trying to sight see, his stomach turned. He spent the rest of that weekend moving, from toilet to toilet.
