The Toilet How Developed is Japan Human development is demonstrated in how the culture of a country manages lives necessities, not the luxuries. I truly believe one of the best identifiers of the development of a culture can be found when I enter the toilet.
Note: The Europeans get angry when I call it the restroom, so I have modified my English for clarity and to keep them from whingeing.
Here is a video of a truly different toilet in Japan.

I have pushed most of the buttons, I have no idea what this jobby does, when you flush the toilet the water comes out of the fountain until the tank if full.
those toilets are very expensive here in the US. The first one is a bidet/toilet combo. Some even have heated seats and fans for drying your bum. I especially like the handwash/tank fill combination. Save water, save the planet.

Hey there, Andy.Just a note that your videos does not seem to want to work with firefox (Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008052906 Firefox/3.0) when trying to open them from your blog. I managed with IE, but anyway.Have a great day,David
Drag on the Firefox, these videos can be a pain to do and explain.I am in Thailand now, and they seem to block them, not totally, however I am having trouble even checking now. I guess they censored youtube.com people for talking bad about the King.I will try to republish the code if I can ever get youtube.com to open.
