Would you dare to use this toilet?


This picture shows a toilet in the middle of a busy street. Would you dare to use it?

Fortunately, the "glass walls" surrounding the toilet are actually one way mirrors. You can look outside at the busy street, but people outside can only see their own reflections.


Why is this so? When the light concentration on the outside is greater, the one-way mirrors reflect the scene of what is happening outside. However, inside it is darker and therefore the person inside the toilet can look out at the street without being seen.

Be careful though: When night falls and the street outside gets dark, the toilet will become less dark by comparison. If you choose to use the toilet then, it will lead to some rather embarrassing results!
