Why don't we have this in US???

It is always good to experience new things but on this trip I am astounded that we are missing out on awesome things in the US, at least I am in Idaho. One of those things are the robotic toilets. For further details on its merits, you will have to ask Willy but suffice it to say that we will be shopping for one one Ebay when we get home. No joke!

And while I am on the subject... here is a picture of the public bathrooms in the woman's room.


Another awesome thing is the coin randry machines. We were desperate for clean clothes in Kitakami and found a laundromat. We didn't believe the gestures of the owner that all we had to do is insert 1000 yen and ALL of our clothes (in one machine) and it would automatically dispense the soap and dry them in only 50 minutes! I thought for sure that we would have to change the clothes into dryers but I was wrong. This was also the cleanest laundromat that I have ever been in. Just click on the picture below for Willy's commentary. :)
