Dec 17 2007Women's Room: A Japanese Aquarium Toilet
The women's room at Mumin Papa Cafe in Akashi, Japan is pretty awesome. It's a monster aquarium that completely surrounds you. The owner of the cafe says it cost $270,000 to build, which is pretty damn expensive for a single bathroom stall. It's filled with all sorts of exotic fish and even a male sea turtle that stares at you when you're trying to pee. Which is just wrong on so many levels. I mean sure peeking is okay, but a full blown stare? What a perv.
Note: Whatever show that was on is awesome and I'm totally moving to Japan. Oh, and doesn't it seem the owner is scrubbing the toilet just a little too lovingly at 0:18 in the video?

oddly, the men's room is made to look like the alley behind the bar, and instead of a sea turtle, there's a dog that stares at you.
or did I just go through the wrong door and piss the alley again?

I think this is kinda rediculus. It's just a bathroom. All there gonna do is use the bathroom. Kind of crazy to me.

Funny how that's a sea turtle when it's a freshwater aquarium. Oh and did I mention that anyone spending over $20K on that is a complete idiot.
