real conversation starter!
Most Japanese families have very technologically advanced toilets. On the wall on the left hand side of this picture, you can see the toilet's remote control.
This toilet has a sensor-operated toilet lid. There is a manual flush and toilet paper in case you want to do things the "old" way but if you use the remote control, the toilet will wash and dry you! The toilet can also play music to hide any unwanted sounds.
Notice that the toilet is in its own separate room from the bathtub.
The slippers in the photo are bathroom slippers. You take off your house slippers at the bathroom door and change into the bathroom slippers while in the bathroom. When you leave, face the toilet, step out of the bathroom slippers and then back into your house slippers. That way, the next person who goes to the bathroom can easily step into the bathroom slippers.
