New Experiences

Its 03.20 local time and we’ve all woken up after 10 hours of being totally deeply asleep! Thought I would tell you about our Japanese style hotel room. It has tatami matting on the floor and you take your shoes off as you enter. The beds are roll up mattresses that you unroll at night – they are supremely comfortable!
The biggest surprise is the high tech toilet. When you open the door to the bathroom the lid rises up spontaneously, a small spray of water freshens the toilet bowl and a green light illuminates the area so you can see where to aim! The toilet seat is heated to avoid the problem of cold buttocks (unlikely currently as the temp is about 20C even in the middle of the night)
Oh for a heated toilet seat! We won’t be able to offer such luxury in Brisbane. However, on your days out in Kyoto I suspect you’ll come across the Eastern variety of toilet – don’t fall in!

Woo – high tech toilets – very fancy – would also love the heated seat!
Glad to see you are all having a fab time!
Oh this is what I always expected from Japanese stuff hehehe!!!
I think it might have a special device for when you are not very successful (oh this is gross, but they may have something technological for constipation)
Enjoy while you can, you going to Brasil and who knows what awaits for you!!!!

We are discussing whether to install a toilet like this in the waiting room!
Your blogs are up in the staff room, underneath the map of the world that Andrew has drawn, showing your epic journey.
Glad to hear you all arrived safely and are clearly already having a wonderful time.
love from us all at the surgery
