For all of you who didn't know I will be taking a tour of Japan this coming May with 16 other people and I was informed to day about public restrooms. For you see most always public restrooms have no toiletpaper. Yes, you have not gone stupid and cannot read, there is no toiletpaper in the public restrooms in Japan. So what dose one do when one is found in a bathroom with no toilet paper at hand? If you're in this situation now let me tell you I'm vary sorry and, you're out of luck. To avoid this problem we were advised to carry those small tissue packages in our backpacks at all times. But wait there is more! You not only have no toilet paper but the toilets are nothing more than sunken into the ground! So in order to do you business you have to squat over the toilet (or should I say sunken toilet). Yes vary unpleasant I know, that's some fine print on the application!
