Global Positioning Systems

The word for the day is TOILETS. I just came home from a visit to the stockbroker. I presented my theory about globalization. Asia was the place where capitalism was booming. If that was the case, I proposed, these were the people who were the target for comforts from the west.

The Chinese never had squat until now. Which might explain the circumstances of waste disposal in China. There was a 30% increase in the amount of money spent on food in the average Chinese household in 8 years. And I always felt, smelt really, a connection between food and plumbing.

I see the day when the Chinese will be dreaming to have a bathroom like I have. I am thinking of starting a Chinese company, manufacturing toilets, getting Chinese input as they contemplate evolving from customs that they know squat about. I see a billion dollar idea, which is a lot like toothpaste and razors. Something they will need every day.

Call it global positioning.
