Did someone say bathrooms?

We have reached the end of our short journey and it's now time to recap some of our experiences!

Bathrooms. Yes, bathrooms. Who knew bathrooms could be so exciting? It is when you have heated seats and a bidet everywhere you go!

No, these are not traditional Japanese toilets - those are different. These toilets may offend some people's western sensibilities, though let's be realistic. Pooping is much easier in a squatting position. Just ask the makers of Squatty Potty.

Jokes aside, we encountered many different kinds of toilets in our short period of traveling. It varied from traditional toilets, regular toilets and all the way to the fancy toilets with heated seats, bidet, and controllable water pressure. I have never been so excited to go into a bathroom cubicle as I have been in this trip.

Besides the toilet, the bathrooms in general were fascinating. Do not expect soap dispensers next to the sink. A good 75% of the establishments we visited had no soap in their bathrooms. It might leave you feeling a bit germ-y like me, so I just carried some hand soap wherever we went. Thank you hotel amenities <3!

We also noticed the lack of paper towels in bathrooms! They do have hand dryers like the Dyson ones where you stick your hands through. It doesn't do a good job drying so you're still better off bringing a hand towel of handkerchief with you.
