Our Toilet


Lest I forget my initial reaction to our toilet, I wanted to make sure I took a picture and
posted a quick note. When we came home this time we were both shocked and delighted at
this hideous toilet seat.

Toilet seats are one of those things that cannot seem to be found here. We had this flimsy plastic one that never really stayed attached in the back, it had duct tape on it (fake, mind you) and slid around everywhere if you didn't aim just right when you sat down.

This one feels SO sturdy and secure. I'm loving it. Even IF the color and design belongs elsewhere (=

By the way, the hose sprayer you see on the wall is what one uses instead of toilet paper. I had to hunt around for toilet paper when we first got here because I forgot that it is essentially a western thing.

So I probably have a more elaborately decorated toilet than anyone else out there (do share if you think otherwise, I'd love to see the competition....)

Anyway - just wanted to share (=

That's hilarious. Absolutely.

Love that you took a pic of your toilet. We have friends who just moved into a brand new house here. The toilet was made in China. It has an instruction panel, calls the seat a 'butt-plate' and claims you can get up to 100,000 uses out of the butt-plate! I about died laughing.

The Japanese have something even more elaborate. Push buttons on the side, for warm water and warm air. Tried it once--what an experience!
