Bathroom Makeover

This is one of hundreds of 60-second radio spots created by the Center for East Asian Studies (CEAS) for Kansas Public Radio (KPR). The purpose of this outreach program is to introduce the people of Kansas to the culture and current issues of East Asia.Broadcast Transcript: Beijing might have spent billions of dollars creating the very model of a modern Olympic venue but they don't know squat about bathrooms. At least not according to the world class athletes whose voluble complaints have inspired a bathroom makeover here. See, Chinese toilets are traditionally holes in the ground that you squat over. The west prefers the sit down variety. Never mind that squatting improves the quads and the glutes, squat toilets are out: Olympic athletes want seats, thank you very much. So renovation is underway at the Bird's Nest and the Water Cube and the Indoor Stadium. Dude! Let's potty! #ceas #china #hacker #tsutsu
