I never understand why some people will giggle and become embarrassed if you talk about the
sewer system and what happens at the facilities that are necessary to keep it working, like these
Izumicho and
Shirahige Nishi pump stations, just because they think it's a 'dirty' subject... 💩😅
It's actually very important to make sure people can live together in big cities without problems! In Japan, they are even proud to make sometimes
very beautiful manhole covers for the sewers. And if you don't believe me, let
Earth-kun explain it to you because he wears one on his head with a cherry blossom flower design! 🌸⚫
