From my days working for a Japanese firm; they consider about 100 yen per dollar to do a quick-and-dirty currency translation So to figure prices, just move the decimal point two places to the left. liguistics: Ima nanji desu-ka (What time is it?)

I like taking a sh-bath. I take a shower like normal, but as I'm showering, the stopper is on the tub so it's filling all the while. |

It all goes down the same hole so why not? I'm sure there are p-traps to keep sh*t from coming back up. Here we go talking about toilets again. |

I was in Japan in '96, working at a facility owned by National (Matsushita). So there were plenty of National branded electrics around, including a laundry room they built just for us American engineers. At the time I didn't pay much attention to the washers. I noticed that they didn't have an agitator, but that a small load seemed to be getting immersed and turned over just fine.

Speaking of bathrooms, I really got to like the type of combined tub/shower I found in several Japanese hotel bathrooms. The tub itself was short, but with very high walls. Basically, a full size adult could sit in one and have the water come up to chest level, overing one's knees as well. Probably about two feet deep or more before the water level would hit the overflow. Not like the piddling 10 inches or so with American style tubs. Great for a good hot soak. The water pressure would also be very good, with ample hot water, so that filling the tub after taking a shower wouldn't take very long. I looked for this type of tub in the US when I got back, but while they are available, the pricing is rather steep. I have seen custom tubs advertised on TV, though, with deep sides and sealed doors that open to let mobility impaired seniors in and out more easily. Those no doubt are even more expensive. |
