Blog Essay #2

My second blog essay is about a posting from Anthropology Judged From Pictures. The posting is entitled A Rest Room in Japan. As for the subject of this posting, I was immediety drawn to the post because I absolutely love, love all these super toilets. Even though I love these toilets this post is not really about the toilets themselves.

The posting is more about the function of the rest room in Japanese culture. The public toilets in Japan are different from those in America. Most toilets in America are not like a separet room but have a flimsy half door enclosing you in your small space. It is one of my most dreaded times when I am forced to use a public restroom in America but in Japan its a different story. I know that I will be alone and free to do what must be done with almost no outside interfernce. I do like the idea of having alittle time away byself self especially during the time I would to do my business alone. Sometimes I even sneak in a little nap in a rest room and these wonderful Japanese rest rooms with the warm seats make it ooh so nice. Thank you Warmlet!
