Toilets in Japan

Viewer discretion is advised.

We often hear people brag about how clean and hi-tech the toilets are in Japan.  From what I experience in Kansai, the rumors are all true.  Lets see our washroom adventure in Japan..

1st encounter, toilet at the lobby of New Miyako Hotel, Kyoto.

2nd, toilet in our room at New Miyako Hotel.

3rd, toilets at Isetan, Kyoto Station.  This is the most hi-tech toilet among all that I've visited.  You can turn on the music (sound of flowing water), and can even control the volume.  To flush, you just have to wave your hand at the sensor on the side.

4th, toilet in our room at Fujiya Hotel, Osaka.  Small but clean.

 5th, toilet at Osaka Aquarium.  This one also got music/sound.

6th, toilet in our room at New Hankyu Hotel, Osaka.  This toilet is very similar to the one in New Miyako Hotel, just an order version.

Last but no photo, toilet in Kansai Airport.
What do these toilets have in common?  They are all clean, dry and have warmer/heated seat, water jet, bidet, and even deodorizer.

And what do you think of this automatic soap dispenser at the foodcourt in Aeon Mall, Kyoto?

Not enough grave

At school, while waiting for Eugene to finish class..

Emmett: Mom, if somebody gets old and die, than the children will grow up, and then gets old too, and then it continues like that?
Mummy: Yes.
Emmett: Then, there will be not enough grave for them.
Mummy: Exactly, son.  Soon there will be not enough land to buried the dead.
Emmett: oh no!

That's how deep our conversation today.

Butter Coffee at Kai Joo Lane, Kuching

There's an old kopitiam selling delicious butter coffee in Kai Joo Lane, Kuching.

I don't know the name of the shop, but we called it 'Butter Coffee Kopitiam at lorong'.

Here's the cafe name if you can read these Chinese character.

There are limited seats in the kopitiam and this morning it was full-house.

This is the butter coffee that I'm talking about. I love it, creamy but not too sweet, just yummy. Cost RM1.80 per cup.

This kopitiam also selling kolo mee, toasted bread and boiled eggs.  This Kuey Teow only cost RM2.70

You can also order food from any other kopitiam along the Kai Joo Lane.  This roti canai I ordered it from a Muslim stall next door cafe, cost RM1 only, light and fluffy.

Am so happy with my breakfast this morning, here's my breakfast buddies for today.  Our new Japanese interns, only been here for less than a week, they were so impress with the coffee and the canai.
