The public restroom at Lane 62 Tran Quy Cap (Dong Da District, Hanoi) is in serious disrepair. Ms. Tran Thi Xuan (66 years old), who is currently the caretaker here, said that this public restroom was built nearly 60 years ago, divided into two areas for men and women. Each restroom area is equipped with 3 restrooms and 2 bathrooms. Photo: Hong Ngoc.

“I have worked here for 25 years, every day from 5:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. Because this place was built a long time ago and has not been renovated, it has seriously degraded; the doors are infested with termites, some doors can be closed, some can only be closed slightly...”, Ms. Xuan said. In the photo is a bucket of water to flush after each toilet visit. Photo: Hong Ngoc.

A corner of the women's restroom has been used as a storage area for some transport units at Le Duan station. Photo: Hong Ngoc.
