The difficult life of an english teacher in Japan. Work, work, work all the time. Never any chance to unwind, explore, or actually have a little fun. Ok, well sometimes, I manage to escape the monotous doldrums of the day to day and, just for a moment, see what Japan is really like. You guessed it--chopsticks and alcohol. P.S.-- "I've gone."

Japanese Toilet


Japanese Toilet

Japan? Technologically advanced? Well, they may make the best toasters and digital cameras, and they're western-style toilets may have heated seats, but public toilets are really lacking. Yes, that's right. It is in fact a hole in the ground. In addition, you generally have to pay for toilet paper, which is actually pocket tissue in vending machines. So think ahead, or you might end up with poopie pants.

Hi Stephen. Thanks for the cultural lesson. Youth is for filling your head so full of adventure that you have a lot to think back on in your old age. I think you are doing well at that. Take care, Kathy B.
