Can you guess what this pool is made from?

We’ve been hearing it for a while now…the infamous “Water Cube” in Beijing where Michael Phelps racked up his collection of gold medals, is being turned into a water park.  Well, it’s finally open, and I have to say, it looks pretty darn fun.  See pictures of what it looks like!

Would you want to go swimming in a dumpster?  For those in some urban areas, the answer is, yes!  A firm called Macro Sea is refurbishing old dumpsters and converting them into urban watering holes.  While it may seem odd at first thought, the dumpster pools are easier to set up and run than traditional above ground pools and are bringing much needed cooling off to heat stricken cities.
