From here, you will definitely see what makes this city tick.

It is a fact that this massive city houses the biggest toilet complex in the world. One only has to see the complex to be awed by the magnitude of it. And, it would be really awesome to visit this place and later on brag about the whole experience to friends long after the tour is over.

The goal of tours of this magnitude is experiencing every aspect of the region in question. As a backpacker, this means that one must see both the old and new versions of cities and cultures. In this regard, a visit to the 18 steps ought to be contemplated.
