Living down under

Some of the greatest ideas of modern man have been conceived while on the king of thrones, and there’s even a myth that King Sejong the Great envisioned the Korean writing system, hangul, while pinching a loaf. Another great man, Sim Jae-deok, former mayor of Suwon and founder of the World Toilet Association, had his own great epiphany. Tasked with cleaning up Suwon’s toilets for the 2002 World Cup and bringing hygiene and happiness to our johns, Sim Jae-deok was a man obsessed with toilets — enough so that he built and lived in his own toilet shaped house. Upon his death, this house of poo was turned into a museum and park where school children can now squat, giggle and poo all on a field trip. Sounds like fun doesn’t it?
