Four-story public bathroom

By at 4:18 pm Monday, Jul 9

A four-story, 30,000-foot public bathroom recently opened in Chonggqing, China. The outside has a bizarre cartoony Egyptian facade while the inside holds more than 1,000 toilets of various designs. Apparently the city officials hope the giant bathroom is worthy of a Guinness World Record. From the Associated Press:
"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. "After they use the bathroom they will be very, very happy."
