WTO

There has been much debate over globalisation and at the forefront has been the WTO. No, not the World Trade Organisation. A far more important body: the World Toilet Organization. Based (appropriately) in Singapore, this organisation has 17 Toilet Associations as members with several others, including HK, hoping to gain admission soon.

In fact the world is gearing up for the World Toilet Summit 2004, to be held in Shanghai. Direct from the site some highlights include:

* A Global Perspective - Relationship between Toilets & Quality of Human Life
* World Class Tourism & Toilets
* Maintenance - Good Toilets Improve Heartland Community Living
* Design - The Challenges and Considerations in Establishing the Code of Practice for Toilets.
* Catering to the diversity of Culture - toilets for different cultures
* Toilet - The Past, Present and Future of Public Toilets in Beijing
This is not cr@p. Oh, hang on, well, it's about cr@p. That is going to be one conference not to be missed.
