Comments on GPS toilet maps for Beijing
Will there also be a guide to show the closest places to buy toilet paper?
Cheers, Boyce
I think this is racist. Yea, China is known for bad toilets but is that really necessary? I mean if the olympics were in the states this year, speakers would have a bit of a struggle finding toilets, but who in their right mind would think to make a GPS of toilets? Like that's that important?
Expats have been living with Beijing toilets for years, and yes, they are still alive. Sheesh.
I assume they'll only have GPS toilets for the best in the city and not the ones I've unfortunately used. This seems rather pointless.
And every foreigner knows that the primary reason to visit McDonald's is use of the toilet without purchase. Really, who goes there for the food?
