Potty Time

So the toilets here are quite extreme. They go from a glorified hole in the floor to super toilets with control panels. I have taken several pictures to give a good perspective. The toilets get more advanced. Hole in the ground that requires an advanced squating technique, basic bidet/ derriere tolet from my hotel, one at the mall and at work that has the b/d feature, heated seat and water, as well as a flush button to make flushing sounds what you do your business and no one can tell what you are doing! to the toilet at a resturant that had a light inside the bowl and a control panel that from what i could tell (with my limited japanese reading skills) did everything from advanced toilet operations, TiVoed your favorite programs, and did taxes! It was crazy. There are toilets that have a faucet on the back of the tank so you can rinse your hands with the water before it enters the toilet. I have used one of these but it was at a concert and taking pictures of toilets can be quite embarrassing. The problem with the faucet toilet is that there isn't a good place to put the soap, and if there were soap wouldn't the water be all foamy?!?

Tomorrow is my last day. I can't wait. I have practically all my shopping done, and packed. I am ready to go. I can't wait to be done with my work so I can get ready to come home! I think I will go to a museum that is open until 9pm so I don't bounce off the walls waiting to leave. I have almost everything packed. I came with 1 suit case, 1 carryone, and one empty back pack. The cases were both very full. I have somehow managed to fit everything into the suitcase, my gifts into the carry on and I am waiting to fill up the back pack at duty free!

I went out to dinner with TTC guy, Yeong, it was nice to eat and talk and know that i will be going home soon. I think it made everything taste better. I then went to starbucks to check out japan starbucks (just like US) and they gave me a free drink coupon. It was nice except I had to go down the street to use it because I couldn't use it at that time at that starbucks! Luckily starbucks are all over (just like in US!). I had a lemon-green tea. I liked it! I will go to sleep and get ready for my last hours in Japan!
