It's the arts! 19: Test yourself! WC wiz quiz

Are you paying attention to the most important details in the films you see, or are you just wasting your time, missing the message and making a damn fool of yourself? Take the WC wiz quiz and find out.

We don't like to be judgemental, so we leave it to you to judge yourself.

However, you should know that if you get a low score you are a horrible human being, and your mother is very likely to be ashamed of you.

Bar The Rolling Stones, Tibás, San José, Costa Rica

The Rolling Stones is the best bar we've seen in Tibás so far. Located about 300m west of the park, open from early enough till midnight. Uncontroversial rock music, playstation, relative tranquility. The bartenders actually know what a gin tonic is, and the gin is actually good (tanqueray, beefeater's, not cacique extra concha).

The owner is from Scotland, suffered from homesickness one day, and bought the toilet from the film Trainstopping.

The urinal is from a scottish ghost-movie from the 1920s

Closing time, seen from the IWCRP point of view, after several delicious gin tonics

Unknown Soldier

Another pic from the archives. No idea where it's from, but it looks nice enough.

Latin American Poker Tour 2008 - San José, Costa Rica

Rumors had it that the LAPT guaranteed functioning WCs, so the IWCRP jumped on a plane from Madagascar to see if this was true. And, to our satisfaction, so it was.

According to the LAPT home page, this player is swedish.
According to the IWCRP, he is not.

Hotel el Gran Impala, Río Claro, Costa Rica

Inexpensive place by the Panamerican highway, OK for a nap if you're driving from Panama to Mexico, or if you're going shopping in Golfito. I think they charged about $20/night. Private bath, cable TV, fan. Rooms with a/c available.

Our room included a sleeping cleaning-lady who had to be poked with a pointed stick to wake her up.

Another McDonalds: Perez Zeledon, Costa Rica

Not much to say about a McD WC, really. It's probably the most trivial thing in the universe. We try to compensate this by giving you a picture of the church in Perez, taken through the window of a moving car.
