Excuse my nonverbal French, but at some point cross-cultural education has to talk about things like public lavatorization....This, my dear friends, is what many a public women's "restroom" (as it were) looks like all across Japan. That's right ladies...you be squattin, my sistahs. I avoid using these at all costs. In the event it is absolutely unavoidable, I must undertake a lengthy process of denuding myself completely from the waist down and carefully positioning myself according to precise scientific calculations. But, I can complete the whole process in less than two hours now, so that's something...
