"On the other hand...." Top 5 Page for this destination Japan Local Custom Tip by PolishChick

....you get those crazy automatic toilets that- believe me or not- can be hard to figure out!!! Let me tell you my Japanese Crazy Toilets Story.... ;-)

So the first time I saw one of those I got pretty excited. In Poland we don`t get to get our butts washed sitting on a toilet, you have to get an extra one- a bidet- and not too many people have those anyways. Cool, I though, I`ll get my ass washed! ;-) So I sat down, and when the right time came I pressed one of the buttons and let the toilet do it`s job. After I thought it was enough of luxury lol, I decided to turn it off. I pressed the first button that look just right, a red one, you know, a red one usually stops such things, but it didn`t stop my crazy Japanese toilet!!! So I thought "well.....if this hasn`t stopped it maybe it`s like a hand dryer...it stops when you take the hands away....HA!". I stood up (after having my ass cleaned for about 5 minutes or so) and the water.....the water came from in between my legs on the floor!!!!!! So I sat down quickly and freaked out a bit- what if I would never turn it off and spend the rest of my life getting my butt washed for me??? Freaking out I started pressing al lthe bottons, separately and together, and finally it stopped....LOL!

Let me tell ya folks, I`d never had my butt so clean before and I don`t think I will again!!!! These toilets are crazy, but lots of fun as well. In my pic you can also see slippers- remember, if you see those you`re supposed to take your shoes off and change into the other ones. Remember to take them off if you don`t wanna your Japanese hosts to have a heart attack....

And don`t let the Japanese toilet beat you!!! ;-)
