Chinese Public Toilets Lets User See Outside with One-Way Mirror

Tourists and locals wandering around the Bishan City Jade Plaza in the Chinese city of Chongqing will inevitably need to use the bathroom, it's one of the most ordinary - and frequent - necessities of life. However, one public bathroom in the district allows its patrons an unparalled view of the city while they are doing their deed. After entering the fancy establishment and walking past the granite lined walls, chandeliers, and wide-screen televisions, the patrons may feel a bit of a shock when they realize that they can see everything going on outside the walls of the bathroom as they are using it. That's right, this special public toilet has a one-way mirror which allows the guests to see outside but prevents anyone outside from seeing in. The bathroom has been designed to provide a relaxing and comfortable experience for guests, allowing them to take in the very real beauty of nature while as they perform their biological functions. Even though people definitely can't see inside, would you be comfortable going to a public toilet with a one-way mirror?

The storm covered a significant part of the camera frame - clouds stretched as far as the eye could see. The Category 4 Hurricane made landfall on Haiti's Tiburon Peninsula early on Tuesday with wind speeds of up to 145 miles per hour. Haiti is one of the poorest nations in the Western Hemisphere and endured a devastating earthquake just 7 years ago.
