WC Melody..

Did I mention before that Japanese people are very polite?? Sometime to the extend of being a bit absurd?? At least that's what I think sometimes... Just look at the gadget below...



What does it do?? The one on the left is obviously a emergency button, just in case some peeping tom or pervert wandered into the ladies.. but what about the one on the right?? Well, it is a speaker inside the toilet cubicle that plays flushing sounds or flowing water when activated just to mask the sound you make while doing 'business' inside!! Unbelievable isn't it??

Maybe I'm one who believe in nature or go with the flow.. If you are doing your 'business' in the toilet, then of course there will be unpleasant sounds... and smells.. Maybe they are so polite until they worried that the 'sound' they make might disturb/traumatize the person(s) in the next cubicle to the point of interrupting that person(s) 'business'... Maybe... :P
