when ever i come across one of these toilets in japan, i always get a good laugh to myself. there is a right way, and a wrong way to use these. face the wall is the right way, face the door is the wrong way. i’ve used this toilet the wrong way for a very long time when i first got to japan. nobody taught me how to use it, and it’s just natural for americans to face the door when using the toilet.
i just used the toilet in narita and seen this “how to use” sign. thank goodness nobody has to experience what i had to. imagine making poop and trying to grab the toilet paper behind your back? haha. i still can’t believe it. and let me tell you that i’m not the only foreigner that used this backwards. haha.
and when i flew into bali’s new airport, there were some interesting changes in their bathrooms. what is that clear shield for??? a splash guard?
this was a great idea. a urine color chart right above the toilet. you pee, look at the color, and compare it to this chart. so if your pee is yellow, you are probably dehydrated. better drink some water before you walk out of the airport in the 100 degree scorching heat.
