Sadly enough one of my writing students wrote an article praising Korea's legendary public washrooms. I had to break the news that the washrooms really are medieval still, and this student was very upset.

However, Suwon built brand new awesome public restrooms all over the city. And they keep them maintained well.

There's even a tour bus with English on the side.. Suwon's beautiful bathroom tour.

I Googled 'Suwon beautiful and found this page.. here's the quote.


"World Cup visitors are being wowed by the most beautiful toilets in the world. Imagine hearing strains of Vivaldi's Four Seasons float through the perfumed air, poetry and framed landscapes adorn the pristine walls and the windows offer panoramic views of the city skyline. Welcome to Fine View Toilet - one of about 30 institutions designated as a Beautiful Toilet by the city fathers of Suwon, Korea, a city hosting some of the World Cup games. The Suwon World Cup Guide declares "The public toilets of Suwon City turn into the most clean and comfortable places of speculation and rest, display, rendezvous, recreation of energy in the world." The guide devotes a section to "A City with the most beautiful public toilets in the world." It comes with photos of the city's best restrooms. Three restrooms are included on all guided city bus tours. Suwon's Beautiful Toilet campaign was initiated in 1997 when the city knew it would host some of the games. A tour of Suwon is the highlight of the World Toilet Organizations Congress later this year."

I don't know where some of you guys are from, but I'd have to say Korean public restrooms are on average much cleaner than in Canada. However, there are negatives, like no soap or the shared bar soap and very often no paper towels.
