Clean City, Green City
Finally got my pics up. You guys can see them at http://groups.msn.com/LouisLeungPhotos/shoebox.msnw

Ever wondered how "public" public washroom can get ? Neither did I. Not until I see "Clean City, Green City".
I told you last weekend we went to this India farming village. To get there, we went by bus. And to get to the bus, we need to go to the central bus station at Secundrabad, the city that is right next to Hyderabad. (Together, Hyderabad and Secundrabad are called the Twin City, like waterloo/kitchener).
The central bus station is a big one. It is also the central train station in the twin city. So basically you can get anywhere from here.
When we returned from the farming village, we decided to explore the area around the station a bit. The station itself has an big outdoor area where the buses lines up for their turns to take off or to pick up passagers. While we are turning our heads everywhere, checking things out, somewhere in the middle of this area, we saw a structure that is something like a small police station. It is very small, probably can hold a table in there with 5 to 6 people. On it, with clear green letters, it says "Clean City, Green City".
Clean City, Green City
It was relieving to see the presence of police in this crowded area of the city. While we were in front of it, laughing how ironic the words "Clean City, Green City" applies to Hyderabad, the man standing inside the station was staring at us thru the left window. We didn't really mind, and slowly walked away. As we walked away from the booth and our perspective changes, I can see the actual inside of the booth. The man who was staring at us was standing in front of the left wall. "How strange ..." I thought. Hmm ..... seeing his hands are in front of his body, seems like he is handcuffed too. Hmmm ....... wait a minute, HE IS TAKING A PISS !!! ...... HOLY SHIT, HE IS TAKING A PISS INSIDE THE POLICE STATION ..... wait, THIS IS A FRICKING PUBLIC WASHROOM !!!
Weren't we surprised to see it. This is not the kinda thing you find in Canada. So I decided to do take a picture of it, with the man pissing. I got out the camera, slowly walked towards it as thou I just wanna piss, and quickly toke a pic before that man turned around.
Run Forest, RUN!!!!
After that, I quickly walked away and once again submerge myself into the crowd once again.
