Automated public toilets are designed to clean themselves automatically after each used. They need to be maintained from time to time, so that they are clean enough and ready to be used at any time. The cost of construction is very high. as well as the cost of maintenance.

Criteria of automated modern public toilet may include:
  • always functional to maintain cleanliness
  • electronic basin unit to provide sensor operation of soap, water, and hand drying, in order to ensure the hygiene
censored soap dispenser, with creative thinking

  • automatic toilet bowl flushing when users wash hands or open the door to leave
  • each automated unit is fitted with a concealed movement censor, for the safety of users
  • seat wash unit to clean the toilet seat by retracting the toilet seat into a cabinet and spraying it with disinfectant, and then wash, dry, and move back into position, ready for the next user.
  • unique electronic toilet tissue dispenser accommodates a jumbo toilet roll
  • electromagnetic locking device which is exclusive concealed to lock each automated unit
  • communication module to provide background music and voice messages to users
  • baby change table

open toilet

Had you seen such a open public toilet which located at the center of crowded place, with the minimum protection for privacy??

Can you do your 'business' in this kind of toilet??

This is public urinal, all over the Europe


The sign on the door of toilet, creative?


With only the protection for the private part of human, there is a printed photo of a woman in front of his eyes. This happened in China.


This kind of idea may acceptable, but is it functional enough and will be fully utilized? :)

What's your thinking, man? This was built specially for men for sure, not women.

Amazing amusement in Las Vegas

So far I knew from my friend, two amazing amusements in Las Vegas which give lots of impression. He had gave me some photos and information about these. Thus, I try to find out some information and share with you here.

This is the Stratosphere Las Vegas, located in Las Vegas Strip in Las Vegas, Nevada. It is a combination of a tower, hotel, and casino. However, the most significant and impressive part of this Stratosphere Las Vegas is the Stratosphere Tower!! This 350m high tower, is having an exciting amusement at top of the tower!!

Stratosphere Tower, Las Vegas

What is so exciting up at the tower??

Here they are....




Can you imagine your feeling if you are one of them who sitting inside the Ride??


Secondly, the Venetian Las Vegas, the new largest hotel in the world, is the luxurious hotel along Las Vegas Boulevard, famous for its canal, elegant decor, and world class service, this hotel is the place that must visit for a tourist.

What is interesting here is the extensive indoor mall and gondola ride winding through what approximates the canals of Venice. Inside the mall, you are always under a bright sky, without dusk and night. The bright sky inside the mall, is looked alike the real sky, just like what we can see outside of building. Can you imagine you are in the world of 24 hours bright sky without darkness in night, just you need to enter into the mall.

Smoker, welcome?

Smoking, is a bad habit which must not be practiced, this is commonly known by everyone. However, when I'm doing internet surfing this afternoon, I found out an interesting bench (search for the original website by clicking on the photo), this bench is encouraging the habit of smoking! Why did I say so?

This bench is integrated with ash receptacle, at the both end side of bench. People may smoke when they are sitting on the bench. The question is, is the bench user-friendly? May be it is friendly to smokers, friendly in the sense of it provides a comfy spot for smokers to enjoy the slow effect of black and poison lung, but not to the non-smokers.

I don't know what is the intention of this kind of design, to promote smoking?? Or to provide place for smokers as they have the rights too? Well, I do admit the smokers have the right to smoke in public space (certain places but not all), but this is not a habit that should be encouraged and promoted. Is it necessary to provide a seat just for smokers?

Note: all words in this blog are just my own opinion
