PEOPLE BEING PEOPLE

South Korean tourists are flocking to a new toilet-themed amusement park. The “Restroom Cultural Park” in the city of Suwon is dedicated to the city’s former mayor, Sim Jae-duck, who, after being born in a toilet, spent his life campaigning for better local sanitation while living in a toilet-shaped house. Park spokeswoman Lee Youn Souk said the goal was to promote healthier bathroom habits. “We already know upon waking in the morning we should go to the toilet,” she said, “but people don’t want to talk about this.”
