‘Kotoranmu, rezekiku’. Tulisan ini sempat saya baca di sebuah toilet umum di terminal ibu kota. Keberadaan toilet umum memang penting bagi mereka yang membutuhkan untuk membuang hajat mereka. Inilah latar awal dari buku The Girl Who Saved the King of Sweden karya Jonas Jonasson. Sebuah jamban umum di Soweto, kota kumuh di Afrika Selatan pada abad silam.

As a promotion medium, photographs (in postcard, illustration of guide book) can attract many tourists.
