On the Throne

This week one of the students took me out to eat. The restaurant was in a mall so we did some Christmas shopping and such. Just before we ate nature called and I went in search of a public bathroom (I am very thankful the sign for toilets is internationally understandable). Walking in there was a strong odor, which made me think that I was going to be squatting over the ever popular floor toilet. That was not the experience. There was a very western looking toilet with a nice seat sanitizing/cleaner dispenser on the wall.

But this wasn’t your ordinary western john. It was a super-high-tech-get-out-your-owners-manual toilet. On the right hand side there was a panel with lights and buttons. I felt like was preparing for a NASA launch. Not sure what most of the lights and buttons did. The pictures seemed to indicate "bottom-washers" and "bottom-blow-dryers". The biggest surprise was sitting down the seat was heated! (Electrically heated not from someone else going just before me). It was an experience. For more on high-tech toilets go here.
