Dude, if there was ever a "right" place to go to the toilet, Japan is it.

You step into the room (Ok, so you pray that it's a "Western Style") and lock the door. Sit down, the seats are heated! I mean, it's like someone's been there before you, which is weird for the first couple of times, but then, once you know what the story is, you can quite happily warm your ass first thing in a morning.

If you look to your left (In the girl's toilets) then there's a sensor on the walls. This is a water-saving device. If you wave your hand in front of it, it'll make a sound like a toilet flushing for 25 seconds, so you can make all the noises you like in there, and no-one can hear (saving you flushing the loo). This thing amuses me muchly as I usually get in its range without noticing, and set it off. Everyone seems to do it every time they go in there though, like the noise of someone peeing is embarrasing. Hell, we're all doing it, just not all of us are letting off a huge pump every time. I've only recently been able to pee with someone able to hear me, am I weird?? anyways, digressions.

The taps are sensed by your hands, and there's always soap. Paper towels are usually there, which imho are better than driers, as those fuckers never dry between your fingers. Oh, and the toilets have 2 different flushes too, to save water! And I haven't even used one with an ass cleaner yet!

Yet...
