Japanese Toilets

Saturday we finished up our Christmas shopping. It was also the first snowfall. Nothing spectacular, still a cold day. We were in and out of the car, in and out of stores, and my body temperature was falling. This always makes me have to pee. So we get to the mall, and I race to the bathroom, I sit down and ... a warmed toilet seat. They may not have warm water to wash my hands with in public restrooms but they always have the warm seat. Of course mostly they don't have any seat at all just a squattie, but I know where to find the seats. Sometimes the bathrooms are so cold that the water in the toilet begins to freeze, but the seat is always warm. See how cultured traveling around the world has made me.
