LAMMA ISLAND, Hong Kong – The Laracy Gall Lamma International Dragon Boat Festival, nicknamed the Lamma 500, brought impressive paddling and exciting races to the local Power Station Beach on May 10.
Most attendees appreciated the splashy spectacle. Many also enjoyed a rare luxury within spitting distance of the sand. On a tree-lined roadway near the food and beverage tables stood a long row of portable toilets. That made the Lamma 500 a very special occasion!
No doubt, the toilets were needed and used. But once the races ended and the competitors vanished, so did the toilets.
Yet the Power Station Beach often attracts a crowd, especially on sunny weekends. Its regular users must have frowned and pondered a pertinent question: Why couldn’t at least one toilet stay permanently to give human beachgoers a viable alternative to joining the pet dogs on “business” missions behind the trees?
