I know I've already written a bathroom story for this trip, but we're in japan and unless you've been here, you won't really understand. OK let's start with most things are in Kanji, which are chinese characters, which means we have no idea what it means...and off we go!!!!! Feeling an uncomfortable pressure in your reproductive area you decide to seek an appropriate place to relieve said PSI, and trundle onto to a bathroom in Japan. Upon entering you see plumbing and wiring in and out of the toilet that can be some what disturbing. There are also picture instructions that make sense mostly, but you really can't be positive. And what does stand by mean? So assuming your sitting ( you pretty much miss the show if you stand) as soon as flesh touches seat a whirring starts ( 2 things happen here;1- the seat starts to warm, 2- the water for the bidet starts to heat up ) So assuming you're not scared by this point your doing something...or not because your too scared. Anyways after said business you have options ( for me, this has been a trial and error process, lasting 3 or 4 days, with some lingering doubts) So you can go for the direct jet , of which some you can vary the pressure, lots of pressure can be somewhat uncomfortable, you know wrong direction and all.you can choose the light shower thing which I think is mostly for woman ( larger surface area ) and most important, none of this stops automatically ( so on the high pressure direct jet setting and you start to tear up a bit, calmly look fot the stop or power button)Also on some toilets the handles flush both ways, one way for liquids and the other for..well other ( I'm actually just guessing but it seems right ) and others the water to fill the bowl comes out the top so you can use it to wash your hands, although there never seems to be any towels to dry your hands.
Japan is wonderful and weird and I have lots more I want to say about it in the next few day , including why WIFI was more available in the Phillipines than here
