Everyone Avoids Me Like a Cyclone Ranger
My journalist friend Gwendolyn Richards recently returned from several weeks
in Japan. She brought 371 photos back with her. And those were after she deleted
all the lousy ones off her digital camera. I explained that I have an aunt who,
when confronted with vacation photos, always says "show me your best three".
Gwen kindly just sent me her best ten, including several of those zany Japanese
toilets. Thanks to the Internet and globalism, these would have been really cool ten years ago. Now, they’re kind of par for the course, but still entertaining. Click below for details. I’m not hiding the photos because they feature toilets et al–I just can’t be bothered to make thumbnails.
Japanese people must have powerful thighs. This photo reminded me of this nifty tutorial.
I see that both toilets offer a ‘Flushing Sound’ option. Does this imply
that the toilets do not naturally make a flushing sound? Or are they employed to conceal bodily noises? Can those who have
used such a toilet comment?
That’s her on the left. I don’t know who the guy on the right is.
