SUWON, South Korea — Kids find it funny, some adults find it embarrassing. At the Toilet Culture Park in Suwon, visitors are encouraged to get into the spirit of the toilet. “I think it could change someone's perception. Particularly, if they are a little uptight or embarrassed about toilet or toilet habits, because this makes you laugh,” said Malissa Sheets-Nygard, a tourist from the US. The town's former mayor was born in a loo and decided to devote his life to the lavatory. He used to live in the commode-shaped abode, but turned it into a museum in an attempt to lift the lid on negative toilet stereotypes. More than 20,000 guests have passed through the park so far. — Reuters
