First published in 1903, South China Morning Post is Hong Kong’s premier English language newspaper and has the city’s most affluent and influential readership. With a reputation for authoritative, influential and independent reporting on Hong Kong and China. The newspaper is supported with its online publication and its Sunday edition, Sunday Morning Post.
The bladder – a neat little bag that is located under the kidneys, tucked behind the pelvic bone – is a pretty cool organ, but most of us don’t think about it until we need to empty it. About the size of a grapefruit, it can stretch substantially and hold up to half a litre of pee for as many as five hours reasonably comfortably (the sensation of needing to pee begins when it’s about half full, 200ml to 300ml). After it’s emptied, it neatly pings back into shape.
