Times when you really don't want to trip up: First dates, fashion parades, graduation ceremonies, weddings... And while standing at the top of a 2,000 metre tall mountain, staring down.

The Apennines form the spine of Italy, stretching for over a 1,000 kilometres from the northwest corner of the country, to the base of the Italian peninsula. Travellerspoint member amenecer shot this amazing photo in the Sibillini Mountains, which forms part the central Apennines.

Pissing into a toilet under the bust of Mother Mary?

I may not be Catholic, but I think I'd feel kind of guilty about doing that.

But if that's the kind of thing you're into, you're in luck. Chongqing, a city of over 30 million in the western half of China, has just opened up a glorified public bathroom, featuring some 1,000 toilets in a 4-story building.

The building itself hardly looks like your average free-for-all waste-disposal centre: a colourful Spinx greets you as you enter what looks more like a theme park than the place where you're meant to unload your bowels.

One question comes to mind: Why?

To make it into the Guiness World Records, of course. Why else?!

A great theme of travel photography is the capturing of weird and wacky signs. We've had some classic examples uploaded to Travellerspoint over the years and so I decided to compile 20 of my favourites, in no particular order.
