Flush Hotel: Maybe the weirdest hotel on the planet, the so-called Flush Hotel is a fitting name for a building shaped like a toilet. The owner, Sim Jae-Duck, built the $1.6 million toilet bowl in order to raise awareness about cleaner sanitation around the world. This live-in restroom is over 400 square meters in size, and is located just south of Seoul, South Korea.
The most amazing part about this giant toilet is not the design (surprisingly), but rather how much it costs to stay here for one night: $50,000! It must be said, though, that the proceeds go to provide poor countries with proper sanitation, so at least you know your hard-earned money won’t be going down the crapper!
Hello there~~
Could i corret your writing a little :)
This building is not a hotel. Originally it was Sim jae-duck's house. This house called Mr. Toilet shows how important a toilet is to humans as well as the toilet philosohpy and faith of Sim jae-duck. After the death of Sim Jae-duck, his family donated the house for toilet Culture Exhigit hall.
You know, hilarious part is price. Normally, korean hotel price is not that expensive. The won (sign: ₩; code: KRW) is the currency of South Korea. cf) 1 USD= 1172 KRW (Sep.2011)
I guess, someone misunderstood between USD and KRW. Maybe he saw the Korean hotel website price for korean. 50000 KRW is same with 42.66 USD (Sep. 2011)
Anyway I enjoyed your writing. Thanks :)
