The Shanghai Greenery and Public Sanitation Bureau, which we didn't know existed before today, announced that 2,400 of the city's public toilets are now free of charge in preparation for the Expo. In case you aren't familiar with the numbers, that means all of the downtown public toilets as well as 80 percent of local toilets throughout Shanghai are cost free. We'd make a joke about how we thought all of shanghai was a free public toilet, but that would be too crass, and really not a joke at all. Maybe now people will stop using the street as a free public toilet? We kind of doubt it. Photo by Shanghaidaddy @ flickr more ›
