I've had many trips from Barcelona to Amsterdam for business purpose over the last two years, but I rarely went to the toilets of Schipol Airport (Amsterdam), especially the one you can find just after the arrival gate. Yesterday morning, as I had drunk too much water and coffee during the flight, I definitely had to go for a pee after picking up my luggage and before being stuck in a traffic jam in the Amsterdam Ring.What a surprise whent I went in (look at the pic, sorry for the quality but I had only my mobile phone an no camera this time): just above the urinals, a real size picture depicting travelers and other wretches was stuck up on the wall, and two TV screens on the top left corner showing the images of the aforementioned characters!
Not inspiring enough, I then paid attention to the sound: instead of having a usual (although boring) musique d'ambiance or even just silence, the designer(s) of this piece of art (I'm sure its author(s) regard it as such) ensured to have a complete package by putting a hubbub recorded in the airport itself. So basically, it was nothing more but feeling that you pee at the very arrival gate itself!
This brought me back to one picture that Tahar previoulsy disclosed in his blog, sexier for sure that one, but not less... inspiring!
Cheers.

Hello Amine,
thanx for this post!
I have always found that schipol is the best airport in Europe concerning the signalisation, direction, everything is clear comparing with fraport ...
Now , concernning WC , i didn't pay attention last time (~1 year) wheni was visiting AMS, the women wc were very normal ones :)
Anyways, i think i have to post about the CMN toilets (mohammed V toilets), i think i don't to write any word, a pic will be more discriptive:)
