Midmorning With Aundrea - August 25, 2020 (Part 2)

(Part 2 of 2) Japanese inventors have come up with artful designs for public restrooms. Their one surprising feature: they're see-through!

We'll explain.

An unforgettable moment between two brothers in minnesota is being seen around the country.

Henry claussen found something with his metal detector: a bottle with a note in it.

He thought it was a prank, but in fact, it was from his older brother, will.

It read, "wil you please say yes to be my best man?

Love will."

Henry, who lives with down syndrome, is part of a large, loving family.

He and his brother are particularly close.

"i think i was one o the first, if not the first, to understand and communicate with henry, so we've had a special bond, essentially since he was born.

We've got 22 years of great experience," will said.

"we'r just so proud of each other.

We're both each other's biggest fans."

Henry says will is one of his best friends.

"he supports m and encourages me," henry said is he a little nervous about having to share his brother with a woman?

"not really, but i' excited to have another sister, so i really like that," henry said.

The video of henry, will and the note in a bottle got at least tens of thousands of views - which will says has been a surreal experience.

"we were jus sharing it with our family and friends, not expecting it to go viral, but we sure are glad it did because it was a special moment and we were happy to share that with everyone," wil said.

With their relationship now on display to the world, will makes sure to remind people henry's still his younger brother.

He's got to mess with him somehow.

"i always kne henry was going to be my best man, but i kept him on the ropes a little bit, kept him a little nervous until i knew i was going to ask," wil said.

"then brought that plan out of my back pocket and it worked perfectly.

He loved it."

In japan, people are flipping their lids over tokyo's latest attraction& lucy craft has this report from tokyo.

1.

Tokyo's hottest new "destination isn't a swanky restaurant, nightclub, or museum& 2.

Set in local parks, the jewel- like cubes are tinted tangerine, pink and purple& and shades of blue-green& 3.

These aren't just works of art - they're public bathrooms - with a feature not standard in most toilet stalls& see- through walls.

4.

These are not ordinary picture windows, but so- called "smar glass" used fo privacy in hotels and offices& when the door is unlocked, an electric current un-fogs the windows& but when the door is bolted, the electricity is switched off, and the windows frost up again& 5.

See-through toilets were dreamed up by pritzker prize- winning architect shigeru ban& 6.

"i don't think it' crazy&" 7.

Visibility, he said, is one fix for public toilets, which have a reputation for filth and criminal activity.

8.

"you need privac when u are inside.

But when you are outside&you like to find out if this is clean or safe.

Then it should be transparent."

9.

Three times a day, cleaners in designer uniforms ensure the dazzling cubes pass the white- glove test& the privately financed "tokyo toilet project is unveiling over a dozen artful public bathrooms - but none has raised eyebrows like these, said project manager hayato hanaoka& 10.

His reaction to the see-through restroom?

11.

"i was super surprised, to be honest& you never see a transparent toilet."

12.

Yet after operating for just a few weeks, users say seeing, is believing& 13.

"you can tell righ away whether the stall is occupied or not.

I really like that," said thi neighborhood mom.

14.

This student said, "going in, i wa nervous.

Scared, even.

But it was fine.

I recommend it."

15.

Architect shigeru ban decided not to copyright his minimalist public lavatory design&he's hoping to spark a transparent toilet wave around the world& 16.
