a. why would a restaurant have rooms for rest? and
b. why would they have to warn everyone that you have to be a customer to rest in those rooms?
I know, I sound silly now. But I swear these were our thoughts.
For all those years I've been learning English by British books, the "rooms for rest" were referred to as W.C. , toilets or lavatories, but never ever did anyone tell me before I came to America that they are called "Restrooms" or "Bathrooms".
p.s. Did you know that in Canada they name them "washrooms"? Oh the beauty of living and learning!
I'm telling ya, it's fun to be a foreigner :)
Hahaha, I can so relate. In the Philippines, we call it C.R as in Comfort Rooms or Toilet. In Singapore, it's Restroom, too!
ReplyDeleteComfort Rooms? This definitely beats the rest of those names!
ReplyDeleteHow about "A Relief Room" or "Leave Happy Room"? lol
