Wonder if this is the same issue as cell phone use being prohibited at gas stations....? (this was at a temple, by the way)
We also found out yesterday that there is a bathroom star rating system! Somebody google and see if there is an app or website that locates them all. We hit a 3 star and 4 star bathroom yesterday and compared to some of the um, barely-tolerable-even-for-guys-bathrooms we've had to suffer through, these were clean and worth the star rating. The stall doors in the men's were even complete with a number and picture of how to use the toilet. Very helpful indeed.

Your sign translation observations reminds me of a book I read a long time ago called "No Shitting in the Toilet" by Peter Moore. The title of the book referred to a sign the author had seen in Dali, China.

Keep up the posts.
PS.
I accidentally typed in www.joshnoland.com before remembering the real domain of your blog, and I got redirected to a site dedicated to Nigerian Dwarf Goats. I "kid" you not. Check it out!
Nothing like a bit of Engrish to enlighten your day!
