Robo-Potty

Welcome to our bathroom on the main floor. Why would we be sharing this with you, you ask? Not all toilets are created equal. This little toilet, lovingly called "robo-potty", is an electric washlet toilet that plugs into the wall. This means that it is unlike any little potty you've ever seen. This little guy has a heated seat---no more chills up your spine from the frozen porcelain. Every time Mia sits on it she sings out "It's SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO warm!"

This is the control panel for the washlet. As you can see, our landlord kindly did an English translation for us. With the washlet, you can spray your bum with warm water and then blow it dry. I kid you not. Mia thinks this is the best water slide around. She likes to get her brother Rhett near the seat and spray him in the eyes with the warm water, then dry him off with the blow drier. I've never laughed so hard. Our little washlet is on the low end. At Starbuck's, the washlet also has a music button and a pretend flushing sound button. I think these settings are to mask or somehow disguise what's actually going on in the bathroom. I'll let you fill in the blanks. Oh, and don't let me forget the perfume button. Oh the joys of living abroad!
