I like her poem "Autumn Sorrow", and her "Postface to a Catalog on a Collection of Bronze and Stone Inscriptions".

Integrated Chinese L1P2 has xi3zao3 jian1 洗澡间(Taiwan), and and wei4sheng1jian1 卫生间(Mainland) for a bathroom with bath/shower in a house.
I have heard that it isn’t normal in China, say at dinner, to announce that you are going to the restroom , you just get up and go. So我上厕所。wouldn’t be a high usage sentence. However, 一天上了好几次厕所。 (yi4 tian1 shang4le hao3 ji3 ci4 ce4suo3) could be useful to describe your symptoms after eating or drinking something bad.
