Speaking of northern hemispeherean cities, my sister & co. took me on a speed tour of Tokyo, the main effect of which tour (besides how hugely nice it was to see my sister & co.) was to make me ashamed of Australian dunnies. Seriously, Japan's got it all over Australia in the plumbing department.
Above, for instance, is a Japanese toilet console, which plays prerecorded gurgling noises, sprays your nethers with gently warmed toilet nectars, and adjusts seat temperature to taste. Where I come from, you're lucky if you have a hole in the ground and a sheet of newsprint. What, a hole? When I were a lad, had t'defecate into thin air, I did.
Speaking of such savoury matters, here is a giant Japanese poo:
Or possibly a sweet potato. I couldn't tell, but sister & co. were pretty certain it's a giant poo.
And what would be the point of all this attention to gross domestic product, were there not also things to eat?
Or manic blue-eyed self-saucing hotdawgs.

I kinda want to eat a manic blue-eyed self-saucing hotdawg now, too. Now that's a successful publicity campaign!
Japan Haiku:
Tokyo hot dog,
Self-saucing, stares manically.
Autumn leaves drift down.
Giant steel turd
Sits atop the tower, sadly.
Autumn leaves drift down.
Seaweed spam sushi
Brings gladness. A delicate
Dish from overseas.
On shores of Preston,
While autumn leaves fall sadly,
Kitten hair drifts east.
the poo is the asahi brewery is it not?
cause the building next to it is both shaped like a beer glass (complete with head) and the headquarters?
did you also try moving around on the toilet whilst being sprayed?
THAT THING CANNOT MISS!
Yep, that's right, Kiki. Brewery. Still doesn't explain the giant poo.
I was fairly cautious about the loo, but I did - with some trepidation - experiment with each of the buttons. When in Tokyo, do as the Tokyoans.
Tim, I am deeply moved. Lyricism.
Oh all right, one more:
Japanese toilets:
Enematic enigmas!
Don't push the wrong switch...
I almost had 'autumn leaves drift down' as the concluding line for that one, too. For some reason I think that Japanese haiku end that way. Weird.
