New Experiences – update

June 15th, 2010 by beth

After visiting Sanjusangen Temple yesterday I’m able to update you on further technological developments in the Japanese sanitary-ware department. The highlight of the visit in the girls’ eyes was not the vast hall housing 1001 images of Kannon the god of Mercy but the toilets.

They discovered that some toilets have a button to press that plays music to disguise the sound of urination plus another which will spray your bottom with warm water to aid in the cleansing process. They were squealing with excitement about it all!

    I should have expected that toilets would feature heavily in the interest of the trip…
    It’s great to be able to read about your adventures. I’ll show the blog to the girls later – all missing you loads and wishing you happy trails.

    We’re just at the airport now heading for Hong Kong and sad to leave Japan. It’s a great place to visit.
