In Swedish this is however not so good. We just don\u2019t say \u201cbadrummet\u201d instead of \u201ctoilet\u201d, but this does not make you rude, even though it might feel that way in the beginning. So just remember not to use the two phrases below.<\/p>\n Kan jag l\u00e5na badrummet?\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Var finns badrummet?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n After having asked where the bathroom is you often want to thank the person.

You usually have to pay about 10 Swedish crowns but consequently they are clean and in good shape.
