The Paris Olympics are about to begin, and this time the opening ceremony will be held on the Seine. Sounds very wasteful.
But in the end, I didn't expect that it was "shallow on paper", and the beautiful idea ignored the outdoor traffic and sanitation problems.
More than 8 million tickets have been sold so far, so you can imagine how many people will flock to Paris.
But there is an obvious public problem in Paris, and that is the "public toilet crisis"
1. Public toilet crisis
The "public toilet crisis" in Paris is strange, but it is also reasonable.
The banks of the Seine, which were originally public areas, naturally did not have toilets that could accommodate so many people.
And according to netizens who have traveled to Paris, this is not an accidental phenomenon.
But in fact, there are not many public toilets in Paris, there are about hundreds on the street, but not to mention the remote location, not to mention the charge, not to mention the complex use, then there are few.
If the opening ceremony of the Olympics had been announced earlier, someone might have found out.
An application was sent to the organizing committee to build additional public toilets or propose new solutions, but the problem was that everyone thought it was being held inside the gymnasium.
If the interior of the gymnasium is based on the proportion of the building, the gymnasium that can accommodate as many people as it can hold must have toilets that can be used by as many people.
There will only be queues, not the lack of access to toilets.
It is said that the spectators who went to Paris to watch the Olympics this time did not care about the Olympics at all, and they were all looking for toilets.
You may think that going to the toilet is difficult, and it is really not worth mentioning in China, but in Paris, the toilet has a complicated process. As shown in the figure below
And although some stores have toilets, they are all encrypted, and you can't get in without a password, so you can only consume in the store if you want a password.
2 euros doesn't sound like much feeling, but it's really outrageous when you change it to 16 yuan!
Second, the environmental crisis in Paris
France, the country where Paris is located, has always been known as the "romantic capital", and when we mentioned France before, we would think of a bunch of luxury goods, such as Chanel and the like.
However, their environmental protection issues were also unveiled at the opening of the Olympic Games, the opening ceremony on the banks of the Seine, but the water quality in front of the Seine was so bad that it was unbearable to look at it directly.
Even the Olympic Village, which houses the Olympic athletes, has the same hygiene-related problems, with no air conditioning, cramped spaces, cardboard beds and more than 60% vegetarian meals, which do not look like a configuration for foreign VIPs.
It is the "luxury nine-person suite" that Paris uses to receive mainland delegations announced by bloggers. Not only does its configuration fall short of the word luxury, but it also portends a toilet crisis on the banks of the Seine.
Because they only equipped two toilets for nine people, everyone commented at the time that the rooms set up in Paris were environmentally friendly, but whether there were some problems was well known.
And this time the environmental problems that have surfaced again and again have also made a teaser for the "toilet man".
3. "Toilet Man" shot
In response to the strange phenomenon of public toilets in Paris, Chinese netizens who advertise hygiene, environmental protection and mutual help immediately started a discussion on this issue, and at the same time put forward a series of plans on the Internet to help.
Especially in the face of the bundled consumption shared by netizens in Paris, who can't find the toilet and spend money to ask passers-by, will not use it to make jokes when entering the toilet, and the toilet needs to enter a password to be able to use the bundled consumption, netizens directly gave a coping strategy.
On social media, someone drew a simple map of the location of the 435 toilets in Paris, and included most of the usage, so that friends in Paris would not get lost because they couldn't find the toilet.
Later, in the face of the bundled consumption of toilet payment, which has long been abolished in China, Chinese netizens first directly shared the method of unlocking the toilet password online, which improved the efficiency of going to the toilet and reduced consumption.
Later, netizens directly shared the toilet password bought with money on the Internet for tens of thousands of netizens to use in Paris, after all, "toilet man" does not allow anyone to spend a penny on the toilet.
It stands to reason that this step is almost done, everyone can find a toilet, and there will be no more worries about getting lost.
But the "toilet man" felt that it was not enough, and they summarized multiple versions of going to the toilet according to different genders and different personalities.
For example, how should introverts find toilets, and what embarrassing scenes are hidden in different toilets, and how to avoid them.
For people with a more open personality, in addition to the above content, it is also added to make a friend on the side of the road and go directly to the toilet, give the shopkeeper a smile, get the right to go to the toilet for free, and so on.
At the same time, on Google Maps, there have been marks about public toilets in Paris, and people can freely judge which one is charged and which one is paid, but from the current proportion of netizens, there are obviously more paid toilets in Paris.
In addition, there are also some original foreign toilet finding software that has also been picked up by the "toilet man", and whether the above shows can be used normally also eliminates the risk of running out.
This time the crisis depends on the "toilet man", otherwise the streets are full of toilets, even if it is not at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, it is not very beautiful.
At the same time, after helping people solve the problem of finding toilets, "Toilet Man" has begun to suggest that the Paris government build air conditioners for toilets, and the progress is unimaginably fast.
epilogue
This time the "public toilet crisis" in Paris, whether it is the advance planning of the Olympic Games or the failure to do a good job in the basic sanitation construction of Paris, this is a point that needs to be reflected.
As an old city with a deep history, Paris hopes to build even better in the future.
And this also shows from the side that the mainland has done a good job of some of the "public toilet problems" that we usually don't care about.
These changes are a long-term process, earlier our public toilets were also charged, but after the problem was reflected, there are now free public toilets everywhere and they are very clean.
And the righteous behavior of the "toilet man", in the process of this foreign tour, is undoubtedly a great addition to the spirit of mutual help of the Chinese, the Chinese help the Chinese, but also help the foreigners, it is all good!
