A Visit to the Ladies Room

On the way to Singapore, I had almost a two hour layover at the Narita airport in Tokyo, Japan.  Not too much to say here except for the toilet options!

Upon entering the ladies room, there were 6 stalls to choose from, each with a picture on the front of the doors.  It wasn't until you looked inside that it was apparent what your choices were.  I just so happened to pick the stall that had what I can only call, the "option" toilet.

On the side of the toilet was an arm that had several buttons and on the wall were directions on how to use each button.  Not sure if the picture I have posted can do it justice, so let me give you the lowdown on what the directions say:

1) Stopping - Rear washing stopped

2) Flushing sound - Press to play back flushing sound to muffle toilet sound (I guess for those that are toilet-shy)

3) Washing - Washing the rear

4) Water pressure adjustment - weaker with "-" and stronger with "+"

5) Extra deordrizing - Increased absorption strength for removing orders

In case you are wondering, I chose not to use any of the options ;)
