Shake Your Buddha

Japanese bathrooms are vastly different from American bathrooms. For one, it truly indicates the room in which the bath is taken. Period. Never is a toilet found in a bathroom. It is in the toilet room. Period.

You can only compare a Japanese bathroom to an RV bathroom. Only super high tech. And with your laundry hanging in it. See the sleeves hanging down?



Everything can get wet, and is expected to. The whole room drains as the first part (on the left in pic below) is the shower, where you scrub and get clean. The right side is the tub you soak in. Already cleaned. It has auto fill, level adjust and temp control (see the panel on the back wall with blue digital lights?). The only thing it does not do is rub your back or bring you drinks. Too bad!



The room has options for drying, A/C, heating, fan or cleaning the air. The curtain rod is not for a shower curtain, but for hanging clothes to dry. Thus the "dry" button...

As Ian was in the bathtub he was loudly singing,

"Shake! Shake! Shake! Shake Your Buddha! Shake Your Buddha!!"

The Caspar Babypants (thank you Melissa!) version goes,

"Shake! Shake! Shake! Shake Your boot-ey! Shake Your boot-ey!!"

I think he is turning Japanese ;)
