LOL, and also if you can warble something to the effect of "Wo ist das WC?" ("where is the WC", though my grammar/case might be off) you're all set. 'WC' (pronounced vay-say in German) is the standard Euro term for the toilet. 'Water closet', get it?!
Funny how in the US, we say 'bathroom' as if we're going to take a bath there. If you went to someone's house here, and said "where's ya toilet?" you'd get a nervous uncomfortable chuckle from your hostess. "Oh, you mean the bathroom? Up the stairs to the right. Enjoy your bath.."
