The Netherlands has swings you can use to charge your phones at The Hague central.

This Helsinki Burger King literally has a SAUNA in it. Catch up, America.

Apparently, in London, there's a bar where you can get a drink in a LEVITATING glass.

Amsterdam has free "menstruation stations" for anyone who needs sanitary products.

There's a Starbucks in Oman that literally has a SHARK TANK behind the register.

Trains in Seoul show you how crowded each car is.

This doesn't necessarily apply to me, but this German restaurant has made peeing fun by including a mini soccer game in urinals.

And even better, this urinal in London had an actual driving game where you could control the car with your pee direction.

Bars and event spaces in Germany — especially those participating in Oktoberfest — have a puke sink.

I'm sorry to say that I would hog these in-ground trampolines in Berlin parks for hours... Sorry, German children.

There are piano stairs in this Seoul subway station that are wayyyy better than the big piano at FAO Schwarz, and I say that as a die-hard New Yorker.

Also in a Seoul subway, you can get a custom transportation card with a photo of your choice on it.

There's a museum in London with slanted sinks that get shorter and shorter, for kids of all heights.

This Edinburgh hotel has bathroom mirrors that are built to have a section that will not fog up when you're taking a shower.

In Singapore, some supermarkets use digital price markers, so workers don't have to spend a ton of time replacing all the paper ones.

Norway has a 24/7 grocery store with no attendants — you just use self-checkout.

This movie theater with a GIANT SLIDE in Korea puts every other movie theater to shame.

The Berlin mall has this even more awesome slide.

This office building in London also has a slide.

Iceland has park benches with footrests.

Airplane boarding passes in Seoul have a map of the terminal with your gate shown on the back.

Seoul buses have transparent pockets so you can watch something on your phone while keeping it secured and protected....and not even having to hold it.

Belgium has a really cool bike path that descends through a lake so you can feel like Moses parting the Red Sea.

There are complimentary dog sticks left out for dogs in London.

This trash can in Sweden has Wi-Fi so that people are more likely to go near it and then throw away trash.

There's a Burger King in Vienna that only sells vegan food.

There's a supermarket in Germany with a magnifying glass attached to all shopping carts to help you read receipts if the print is difficult for you to read.

So they could potentially change the prices while I'm still shopping? I'm not sure I like that "Oh that was the price 5 minutes ago now it's twice as much..."

Gertie,
Our local Kohl's department store in California has these tags on all of its merchandise. The prices do not change while the store is open.

#15 Many places in North America also gone with digital tags. They save big on paper but the batteries are a pain. They were to last 3-5 years lucky to get a year out of them depending on how often the price changes. Someone who changed the paper tags now has to change batteries full time.

A few of these make me think the lawyers haven't arrived in these countries yet. Piano keys painted on stairs to encourage customers to dance. Sidewalk trampolines surrounded by concrete, you know, for the kids.

Madge, In Estonia, there are these trampolines near kindergartens and schools. These rubber bands are quite stiff, you can't jump very high there. The surface is not made of concrete, but rather of the rubber material from which running tracks are made in the stadium. Those trampolines with springs that anyone can buy for their backyard are dangerous. You can jump over the roof from them, or if the rubber fabric has become brittle in the sun's UV rays, you can also fall through.

Madge, in properly developed countries people are responsible for their own actions. Only in really shitty countries can you sue someone else for getting hurt when you do something stupid.

Kittie,
Yes, and if you have an iPhone all you have to do is say, "Siri, please wash the inside of my colon." Siri likes that.
