Japanese Toilet Etiquette
In order to avoid some awkwardness in Japan, and to gain some insight into Japanese ingenuity when it comes to saving money and being green, we should learn how to use a Japanese toilet. In class we had an open-note quiz after this lecture. If you missed class, make up the assignment by viewing the following material, and write a short synopsis of the differences in Japanese and American toilet use and turn in.
Here is the PowerPoint we used in class, and a video from Risa.
