Shaolin toilets

[UK MONK]

the shaolin temple is a tourist attraction im afraid. they have rebuilt the temple many times and then make it look old

that's pretty sad. But seriously, 430,000.......on some (rappers? that's just insane

really? do you know what it costs just for materials to set up indoor plumbing?

It's not that outrageous depending on the facility. You might be surprised at what stuff costs. I bet that same set up in a new york mall would be comparably priced if not scads more.

I sentence you to 2 days study at a home depot and you can't get contractor rates either! lol

so, not sure if anyone else has had a chance to go there since the installation.

but its pretty awesome. off the sidewalk between the temple and the pagoda forest.

you get your choice of chinese squatter or western throne. there is also a handicap toilet. and they all have doors you can lock. the urinals flush themselves. and its fully equipped with hand soap dispensers, and your choice of paper towel dispenser or hot air hand dryer. you dont need to bring your own newspaper for wiping and its actually clean!

i enjoyed it.

Thats capitalism at work! Shaoling Temple is to commercialized. The name is even trade marked. What you learn there is watered down unless you have been studying there for any great length of time (5+ yrs).

i didnt study with anybody in the toilet. i imagine it would be watered down though.

but i'm personally thankful for it. you havent seen the type of maggot/fly/mosquito infested troughs i've squatted over with several young chinese children watching. what a relief it is.

[unkokusai]

Oh, I have some traumatic memories of those sorts of horror-bogs.

[LFJ]

lol, "the bog of eternal stench" is what i named it.
