Today's Picture: 078

Is of:


my bathroom. As can clearly be seen, it is airplane-sized, plastic, and lacks any hygenic place in which to stow toiletries. It is actually a decent-sized bathroom by Japanese apartment standards. To put this in perspective: the sink the bathroom in my second Japanese apartment was actually positioned over the toilet bowl--you had to swivel it over the bathtub when you wanted to use the toilet, and over the toilet when you wanted to shower. By way of comparison, the bathroom in my fourth apartment was actually a series of four rooms: a changing/showering/sink room, a spacious bathtub, a laundry room, and a toilet room with a heated toilet seat and little water fountain on top of the tank that I guess you were supposed to wash your hands with.

The sink and bathtub in my current bathroom are a little too close to the toilet for my liking, but it's not as bad as it could be. What I want to say about the toilet, sink, and bathtub themselves could each fill a separate post, and probably will some day soon.


That will be all.

Um...is it the angle or is this bathroom for foreigners? I think it's a little high for the average Japanese person, right?

In terms of floor-to-ceiling difference? One of the things I like about my aparetment are its relatively high ceilings, which promise to help keep it cool in summer.

I like it. I've always felt I've been wasting time doing my business and brushing my teeth seperately. It's the feeling of being in a dentist chair, but you can poop.

Mais non, you *can* poop while in the dentist's chair (http://www.us.depend.com/)
