Noodles and I need to put our heads together! That might be kind of tough today, though as Noodles hurt her paw this morning and Janet can't see what's wrong with it. Janet "had" to sit on the sofa and watch MORE Poldark to keep Noodles company this afternoon.
Janet noticed while they were in Tokyo that there were many, many toilet systems. Some of them in Japanese only. Which one to flush the toilet; which one to make a running water noise so that others don't realize you are actually going to the bathroom (why go into a toilet if you aren't going to go the toilet?); which button rinses and fluff dries your bottom?
This was the bathroom in Janet's hotel room. It wasn't a mental challenge. Thankfully.
Janet thought the mirror was pretty special. The wall above the vanity was all mirror, but the mirror above the sink didn't fog up. Good thing she remembered the towel!
Fancy coloured buttons version.
Musical options.
The La-Z-Boy version with the controls in the arm! Only thing missing is the TV! Janet neglected to get a photo of a typical "squat on the floor" Japanese style toilet as there were never any quite clean enough for photographing!

Look! A real flushing handle! |
On the third floor of their hotel, there was a large common area with two massage chairs, vending machines and two sets of washers and dryers.
Plus, this really cool outdoor patio!
On a really good note, smoking in public in Tokyo (with the exception of the doorway to 7-11!) is greatly reduced.
Hopefully now that Janet has run out excuses - jetlag, Meg, Derek and Mr. Baby and Grandma and Grandpa visiting, she can actually buckle down and get on the blog job!
