This is a toilet
May 09, 2006
Have I ever shown you a Japanese toilet? It’s a hole in the ground!
Yup, it’s a squatting toilet. Sometime during your development as a foreign national surviving in Japan, you’ll need to work on your skills of the balanced crouch push. Some people refuse to use the squatting toilets and hold it until they find a seated one. Sometimes, you don’t have the luxury of holding it in…
So I just want to say that it’s early May and it’s already becoming hot. Yesterday was a barely bearable 28 degrees with a hint of humidity. A sign of things to come I’m afraid.
We’ve been in our new place for about two weeks now, after a heavy weekend of shuttling furniture back and forth from my old place. Luckily it’s only a five minute walk (we really love the neighborhood). Now armed with cable and internet, a much bigger place, and a TV in the bath, I’m ready to take on the married life with a grin on my face and a bead of sweat running down the side of my head.
Oh yes, we have now been legally married for three days. Before that we were only married under the eyes of God. So, congratulations to us again!
