ROFLMAO. Personally, I don't want men PEAKING *or* PEEKING into the stall when I'm in there, TYVM. I wish I could read what the Korean text says...I can only imagine: Women - you may use this restroom, however, we have supplied men with mechanisms with which to watch you do so. Namely, we have installed ladders on the outsides of each of the stalls. posted by morley , November 9, 2007 3:40 PM

Is the bathroom a cubicle instead of a separate room? Are they telling me I'm supposed to look over the stall? Do women in Korea pee standing up? Very confusing. What is going on there?
