When I was a kid, my aunties used to tell me about the dreadful life in Hainan (my late grandparents were from there), portraying the island like a third world country. I didn’t really believe much of their stories, but there’s one which did leave a lasting impression in my head forever.

That I have to pee or shit by the road surrounded by tall grass and cover myself with an umbrella because there’s no proper toilet in Hainan. And a snake will enter my butthole if I’m not careful enough. :|

Such was my innocence, I actually believed that (only the former; definitely not the latter). So when I went to Hainan a few months ago (with little help from Jetstar), I actually brought along an umbrella. You know, just in case.

But thankfully, after I landed at the airport, I saw this.

REAL-LIFE FUNCTIONAL TOILET! AND IT’S FLUSHABLE! :D

AND LOOK!

OMFGBBQ THEY EVEN HAD AUTOMATIC SENSOR FAUCET! :D

That’s it. If heaven really does exist, it must look like this.
