That toilet brings back memories of attempting to use a squat toilet in a mall near my work in Japan :o
and I'm sure you got the job done!Quote:

There are many "unique" things in Japan. My friend just install a toilet seat warmer to their guest bathroom. Really weird and I'm sure useful in cold days...

I remember when i was living in Puerto Rico, visiting some people who lived in a poor community where all the houses were rickety shacks built on stilts hovering several feet over a mangrove swamp. The houses were standing in the air over the water on these stilts, and there was a network of planks on stilts connecting the houses, like 8" wide pathways suspended high up. scary! Bare light bulbs were strung on wires connecting all the houses and lighting the plank paths as well, like strange Christmas decorations.Quote:

Well I used it, but the oddest sensation was seeing the mangrove swamp water rushing by through the hole. Continuous flush mechanism! :eek:
Makes you really appreciate luxuries like toilets, plumbing...even having actual ground to walk on!

Just makes me appreciate the Clean Water Act
My well water is full of e.coli. I have a UV treatment thingy for it but it needs something or other. I just don't drink my water.There are some parts of the DC area that have contaminated water due to lead pipes.
I love the maple cabinetry!
