Two Chinese tourists visiting the Royal Botanic Garden in Sydney, Australia have been arrested by local police after they were spotted urinating in public. New South Wales Police have confirmed that the two men were caught committing the indecent act at the popular tourist attraction last Saturday afternoon.

The two men, aged 41 and 66, attempted to leave when police approached them. Following an altercation, the men were taken into police custody.

The 41 year-old man was issued a criminal infringement notice (CIN) for offensive behavior, which typically accompanies a fine of $200 Australian dollars.

The 66 year-old man was charged with offensive behavior and resisting arrest, and has been summoned to Downing Center Local Court on December 12.

This latest incident of tourist misbehavior follows last month’s story of a Chinese tourist who was forced to return a stolen toilet seat to a Japanese hotel, which ended up costing the tourist his job. With a travel blacklist already in place, the topic of misbehaving tourists has long been familiar to Chinese people, many of whom took the opportunity to denounce the two men.

One person wrote online, “I recommend from today forward that these two not be allowed to exit the country; have their passports blacklisted, and forbid them from leaving their homes,” while another said, “At this point, education is too late of an option for them; they can only be disciplined.”

Citing a commonly used excuse, one netizen jokingly said, “But they are still just children!” Another wrote, “66 years old and he still doesn’t know how to act like a proper person, it’s obvious this is a Red Guard who has gotten older.”

Australia has become a top destination for China’s rich, while the popularity of a remote salt lake on Chinese social media has single-handedly saved a small Australian town through Chinese tourism. In turn, Australian authorities have attempted to help facilitate the rush of Chinese tourists by publishing a handbook for them.

And while it might not have received much airtime, a CCTV television commercial attempted to school Chinese tourists on proper behavior while visiting Australia through a strange commercial where Chinese are depicted as over-sized panda mascots.

A security surveillance camera recorded an unidentified woman urinating in an elevator in a Mong Kok, Hong Kong shopping centre.

The video footage captured the woman and her male partner entering the elevator before she hiked down her pants and squatted on the elevator floor. When she stood up, a puddle was seen between her feet. The man seemed to be keeping an eye out for would-be witnesses. The pair left soon after.

Although it’s unclear why the woman wasn’t able to find a restroom in one of Hong Kong’s densest tourist areas, what is clear is that they had plenty of time to go shopping, as evidenced by the shopping bags that could be seen in the video footage.

True love is not easy to find; but, finding a man to keep watch as you relieve yourself doesn’t seem to be that hard.

In April 2013, a woman defecated on the elevator at a Shenzhen metro station while her boyfriend kept lookout for witnesses. Like our Mong Kok couple, this pair simply walked away from the mess they created, thereby making it someone else’s problem.

Bao Yafu chugs down a cup of his own urine.

Apparently drinking your own urine is a thing. Honest. Just ask 79 year-old Wuhan man Bao Yafu who, according to a story in the Wuhan Evening Post, has been drinking the stuff for 22 years. Bao credits the “elixir” (his word, not ours) for curing his constipation, mouth ulcers, and perhaps most impressive, giving him the bone density of a 30 year-old man.

Bao, who also serves as head of the China Urine Therapy Association, religiously drinks three cups of urine every day and washes his eyes and face with it as well.  “For 22 years, I have never had a cold, and I can see things more clearly. I don’t have liver spots on my skin,” Bao told the newspaper. A bone density test conducted last year revealed that he had a bone density only slighter lower than a 29 year-old man, which according to him, even shocked the doctor.

Bao Yafu is not the only one practicing urine therapy in China. According to Bao, there are about 100,000 people across the country who take part in the practice. Founded in March 2008 by Bao and his fellow Hong Kong urine enthusiasts, the China Urine Therapy Association boasts 1,000 members and has been recognized by the Hong Kong government as a “non-profit and non-charitable civil organization”.

Bao explains the importance of drinking from giant, slurpee-sized cups

A 21 year-old man in Wuhan has been drinking his own urine for a year and claims the method is responsible for curing his hyperthyroidism, which is often accompanied by a visibly enlarged thyroid gland and protruding eyes. Initially apprehensive, and hesitantly sipping for the first year, the young man is now comfortably downing half a bottle a day.

Pan Xiuli, who lives close to Bao Yafu, is also a practitioner of urine therapy. Not only does she drinks urine, but she got her husband and father hooked as well. The elixir worked best on her father, an old man in his 80’s, who credited urine therapy for curing his respiratory infection.

Pan said, “My father is more than 80 years old, and has been drinking urine for over a decade. He drinks urine whenever he is able to urinate. Not a single drop is wasted.

Doctors are skeptical. We have heard about men surviving extreme circumstances by drinking urine or for sheer entertainment purposes. But if Bao is successful in further spreading the urine gospel, perhaps he can convince some of his countrymen to stop expelling such precious liquid in public spaces.
