"I've been to some bizarre spots in South Korea, from DMZ tunnels to a seaside park dedicated to male "parts," but a new theme park in Suwon is at the top of my must-see list: it celebrates toilets.
The Restroom Cultural Park is billed as the world's first toilet theme park. It's a monument to the colorful former mayor of Suwon, a man known as Mr. Toilet.
The late Sim Jae-duck was himself born in a toilet and had an affection for loos throughout his life, rigorously promoting public facilities while mayor.
Sim also founded the World Toilet Association and wrote a book entitled "Happy to Be With You, Toilet." He died of prostate cancer in 2009……"
Indeed folks, you can head to South Korea to go to a toilet museum. I'll just leave you with this link and the following BBC News story (discretion is advised) (Three and a half head slaps).
INAPPROPRIATE!!!!! or as Eric M says "UNAPPROPRIATE!!!"
ReplyDeleteWong, I'm not surprised that you were privy to this story, or that you didn't can this john-ty post even if you thought the idea was something of a loo-ser. I'm also glad the post is currently en-throne-d on the top of your blog, as everyone should know that you take advantage of the commode-ious latrines when you're invited out(to the Magnuson)house.
ReplyDeleteWell, South Korea just jumped up to second on my list of favorite Asian nations!
