Don't forget about the electric toilets. In japan a toilet can clean by its self.

Not enough people know this ... it's like a combination of sleeping on the floor and sleeping on a bed, which, mind you, kicks ass

Those things are like a toilet with a built in bidet. That's so you don't actually have to use toilet paper. It's like... an external enema.
Also the USS Enterprise's ultimate weapon, as it instantly rids the dark crevices of space from Klingons. *cough*

My friend went to Japan today.

And?

peace
i'm back

How was it, overall? Did any more toilets violate you?

Got any pics? Of the toilets, I mean. *cough*
No, really, got any good pics of Japan and stuff?

Now I am back from Sierra City so I will post some cool pics.

Anyone know of a good gallery script?

No, but I tend to use this place:

www.photobucket.com

or you could give them to David and he could post them up somewhere.

or wait until someone more knowledgable on these things comes along and dethrones everything I just typed out here.
