Hi Muse,

Maybe you remember staying at daughter Rachel's place in San Diego.

We have never been south of the equator,  taking off for springtime in New
Zealand next Sunday.  Do the toilets really flush counter clockwise  ? ? ?

Cheers,  oHIo wHIt

I sure do. I trust she hasn't inhaled too much smoke.

Zealand next Sunday.  Do the toilets really flush counter clockwise  ? ? ?

Yes, but it is a subtle movement. In order to detect this difference with the
Northern Hemisphere you have to stick your head into the toilet bowl with a
flashlight/torch, then have a friend flush it. If you still cannot see the
counter clockwise movement, then stick your head into the water and you
should be able to detect the direction the water is flowing by its passage
between your ears.

And you're not going to come and visit us here in Australia?  For shame!  :)

Here are just three of the many answers to the water rotation question:
