Yesterday I walked past a trio of Russian mail-order brides (or maybe prostitutes) who gave me dirty looks, and that made me very sad inside. And I can't understand the instructions for the toilet:



As a result, I hate this whole country. I'm never coming back, except for next July, and maybe for a Wonderfest or two, and perhaps a couple of other visits over the next few years, but that's it.

Japanese toilets rule...

Oh, yeah, and I saw a Locomoco place in a food court yesterday.

i usually just aim for the hole.

love the heated seats although they feel like some fat dude was on it right before you. never gathered the courage to try the ass sprayer

The ass sprayer (bidet) is the best part! I'm a true believer...

the wash & dry is the best part.....

saves on paper too...for all you eco-geeks....

+1 i wish i had one at home

i was about to try, but my friend used the bidet right before me.. i refuse to get sloppy seconds

i know a couple people that are a bit loaded....and they had them installed...

you just need to run a warm water pipe to your toilet and have an electrical outlet nearby (which is illegal in the UK,,,but no the US)...

last time over there,,,i priced them & dreamed...they are not really that much for such luxury...about 30,000yen...

if only,,,,i owned a flat/house...then maybe i'd consider

Just pee on the seat Roger, the Russian prostitutes love that.

Have a great trip! Please bring back some non-toilet pictures.

When I went to Japan years ago, I fell in love with the fresh and clean feeling from these things!

So when we remodeled our bathroom a few years ago, I installed one! I love it. Toto Chloe is the way to go. mmmmmmm....heated seats!!

HIGHLY recommended! I think I paid online around $250...

I'm afaid when I go to Japan (someday) I'll never want to leave. Plus as far as using the bathroom, take a nod from "Demolition Man" and just commit some crimes and get a ticket and use the tickets.

The Japanese take their toilets serious. Toto all the way. Never clog up and the best looking toilets on the market. I'm not one for all the doo dads. I just got their top of the line toilet with bare minimum. The soft closing seats are really nice too.

And another goddamned thing about this country... the drinks arent watered down enough, so when you order that gin n tonic three times in a row you are absolutely guaranteed to be on the one way ticket to drunksville, I mean really almost stumbling falling down drunk oh shit I have to sit down drunk. Like I have to go to the internet cafe with chuhis in my pockets and check my mail because I PROMISED PEOPLE I would check for the stuff for them.

And when I say the stuff, I mean toys, not like anything good.

I am amazed that my punctuation, capitalization and natural eloquence are somewhat unhindered despite the fact that my eyes seem to be going in two different directions. I am going to go outside and make a fool of myself in another country.

sounds like your having a good time Roger!!

Here are a couple of pics from my first trip to Japan. The first one is of the bathroom in our hotel room in Ginza.



The second pic is of the warning that was written underneath the toilet seat....... (sorry for the blurry pic)



I like how is says to "present" burns.

LOL... I thought the drinks were watered down when I went out on the town in Kyoto about a decade ago.

We went to this club that had a door fee of $35 to get in, but drinks were included... so I had 12 gin and tonics in about 3 hours. To this day, I cannot drink gin.

Not surprising - that must have been one hell of a hangover.

Fortunately, they were so watered down, that I didn't have a hangover at all.

I'm just amazed that I was able to drink 12 glasses of any liquid without my stomach exploding.

maybe someone slipped roger a roofie

If so, it would have increased my chances of getting laid on this trip.
