スイスの公衆便所はすごゐ

Swiss Public Toilet

This post is a bit off topic, but since it’s from my home town, Basle (that’s in Switzerland if you wondered), I decided to post it anyway. It is remotely technical though.

Switzerland has had a long tradition of modern design and Basle is host to a few of the biggest exhibitions world wide. For example, there’s “Basel World” a very popular watch & jewelry fair (the Chinese invade our city each year when it starts). Then there’s also “Art”, an exhibition which - you guessed it - is about displaying art like paintings, statues and other artsy stuff. It is so hugely successful, that they even decided to found a co-event in Miami which also takes place once a year. So those events attract a lot of people from foreign countries. And where’s that toilet located at? It’s in the middle of the exhibition area, the “Messeplatz”, so most visitors should see it. <略>

これ，一部のonobouzu氏などが大好きな，マジックミラーだそうです．
つまり，いちお外からは見えないんだって．中からはこんなに丸見えなのに．こんなふうに．

To be honest, I had problems peeing in there, guess I’m not used to peeing while a few dozen people walk right by.

たとえ外からは見えないと分かっていても，やはり心の中では公開排便になるからな．そう，俺が先日遭遇した吉本興業の人のように．月の光に導かれるように．何度もめぐり合うように．

トイレ、どこですか? [DVD]
