Toilet of gold Lenin dream come true
The Guinness World Records “Public toilets” made of gold, appeared in China, in the jewellery shop “Golden House” of Hong Kong. The price of each of them – 4.9 million dollars. Noteworthy, you could use them only if buying jewelry for 200 dollars. Jewelry store, according to the owner, done for the amusement of tourists from China, brought up on the postulates of Marxism-Leninism. The Shop Owner Lam Sai-Wing said – since his youth he had dreamed of having enough wealth to build toilets of gold, as Lenin in 1921 wrote. Besides, that this would be a useful reminder of the futility of the capitalist system. According to Lam, when he was a teenager, he read about a dream of Lenin of toilets from gold. He emigrated to Hong Kong, aged 22 and launched a successful jewelry business. However, it is precisely devoted to capitalism rather than what Lenin wrote. Lam Sai-Wing called the Golden toilet «a combination of my thoughts and ideals “.

For 20 dollars is allowed to sit on a seat in the clothes; the clients have to take off their shoes, so as not to scratch the gold tiles.
