How To Measure Cleanliness Of A Toilet

China is one of the most polluted country in the world.  The air pollution is really bad, so much so that it is estimated that a tenth of the population will eventually die of lung cancer. There is this joke that Beijing residents are the best means  to be used as natural filters to rid the capital off industrial pollutants


If you have been to China, you will no doubt try your best to stay away from the public toilets. Most of these latrines are nothing more than dug holes with no proper flushing systems. Most of the toilets are clogged, a combination of irresponsible users and zero maintenance.

Recently the Chinese government has developed an interesting metric to measure the cleanliness of a toilet  It is going to use the the number of fly, yes you heard it, the number of fly as the yardstick to grade the hygiene level of the washroom. Don't believe it? Check this out right here!

I am not sure who the smart Alex that works in the environmental and health department come out with such ridiculous idea and actually really got it approved by the top management? I guess it really bothers on insanity but hey, on second thought is doesn't sound that bad either.
