Chongqing aims to set record with its unqiue 1000 public toilets

Open air peeing system. Will the ladies frown upon it?Chongqing, the southwestern city in China is flushing with news again. Apparently, to work in coherence of their hot and spicy food that makes people roar for water, Chongqing decided to brighten the city with its porcelain palace, featuring an Egyptian facade, with soothing background music and more than 1,000 toilets spread out over 32,290 square feet of space.

That's not all. These toilets are better than our Singapore's public toilet. Why? Its Free of charge! Officials in Chongqing are preparing to submit an application to Guinness World Records to have the four-story, free-of-charge public restroom listed as the world's largest

In an effort to promote its uniqueness, officials said that having such a public ammenities around will cheer up tourists visiting the city. Sure, we all will. After all, its a rare sight to have so many toilets in one place. But what about your environmental control, pest control, smell control? Are you up to the ability to upkeep and keep it clean? Let's cross our fingers and pray for the best.

"We are spreading toilet culture. People can listen to gentle music and watch TV," said Lu Xiaoqing, an official with the Yangrenjie, or "Foreigners Street," tourist area where the bathroom is located. "After they use the bathroom they will be very, very happy."

Have your food in a toilet themed restarunt. err,, Zzzz YIKES!!Some urinals are uniquely shaped, including ones inside open crocodile mouths and several that are topped by the bust of a woman resembling common renderings of the Virgin Mary. Oh my... lol

What's more, I think they also intend to build a supermarket nearby selling toiletries. I think they should build more steamboat around the area too! Eat, drink and merry..and full of +hit.

Hoho.. I guess I like to visit Sichuan soon. After all, they do have good museums there, showing interested green bronze pieces from San-Xing-Dui.

But then, what's with the Full of Shit Theme? o.O

Note: I also like to thank you readers in supporting this blog for the past month. Bad post as choice to thank you all, I know. I faced difficulties in viewing my blog as China blocks lots of information and reading online via their Great Firewall of China. I appreciate your comments and I do hope you guys do not feel neglected for not replying to your comments. Thank you readers!
