Mini Update: Super Toilet




Is it weird that the one thing I really love about being in Japan so far is the toilet? Check out my photos. You'll see that the handle for flushing has two labels on it, and it can be turned in either direction. You turn it clockwise if you went number 2 (or "big" as the Japanese label calls it, 大). You turn it counterclockwise if you went number 1 (or "little" as the Japanese label says, 小).

The toilet also has a built-in bidet that will cleanse your hindquarters with warm water for you. There are settings for both front and back cleansing and for different water pressures.

U.S. toilets just seem so primitive by comparison. Heh.

Have you used the cleansing option? It seems odd to me.

@Michelle - Am I using it? Do you even need to ask?

@Matt - On the contrary, it is not odd but amazing. Your butt has never felt so clean...

When I was in Oregon last summer the airport there had different flushing options as well. Makes you wonder why more places don't do the same.
