Saying 'WC' won't get you to a toilet in Guangzhou
(China Daily)
Updated: 2009-09-01 09:23 Starting June next year, there will be no "WCs (water-closests)" in Guangzhou, capital of Guangdong province. Instead of WC, a widely accepted word for toilets in China, non-Chinese will have to learn how to say "gonggong cesuo (public toilet)", the local government said. The government has decided to standardize English translations at the city's airport, railway stations, bus terminals, ports, piers, hospitals, schools, sports facilities, shopping malls, entertainment venues, scenic spots and other public places ahead of the 16th Asian Games in November 2010.
