Toilet theme park in Korea

Korea is a fascinating place. I think I just found a new stop to add to my Korea trip in 2014.

Korea has the world's first toilet theme park. The "The Restroom Cultural Park" opened on July 4th in Suwon.

The park was built to honor the recently deceased mayor who was known as "Mr. Toilet". His mission was to improve the conditions of toilets in Korea. He had a toilet shaped house in Suwon which was donated to the city after his passing.

After "Mr. Toilet" died citzens donated money to build the toilet themed park. The park has various toilet exhibits and fun facts about poop.
