119 Where's the toilet？

　　You're walking along the street. You need to go to the washroom desss……perately. What do you do？ If you can't control yourself， you could be embarrassed¹ to no end.

　　Don't worry. Someone in San Francisco has invented a self-cleaning public toilet. The toilet cleans itself. The seat goes back into the wall where it is washed and blow-dried. Even the floors are washed automatically². You must be quick，though. You've only got 20 minutes to “do your business.” Then， there's a 2-minute warning³ before the door opens. When it does， you'd better be ready or your face will be red！
