We have been on Japanese soil for 24 hours now. Last night we landed in osaka the ride to our motel was a eye opener as they go through the boom gate at the speed limit 90km per hour boom gate down and two feet before impact its out of the road
.Tonight we spent with a gentleman from japan ex nissan australia he took us out to a traditional Japenese restraunt the first dish was a little strange and i was coping but someone had to ask what it was his reply was beef
no we could not leave it at that and the next question was 
me thinks i dont whant to know as the answer as it was not easily forth coming now was a good time to drop the subject and eat 
The question was not left alone and now i want to hurl 
. Anyway from here on the food improved and we had a great night and some leads he was impressed with our photo's and passion with our cars.With this experience out of the way we came home to our room and after using a public toilet today which you squat over a piece of pipe with the side cut out of it
we were back to our trusty hotel room with a dunny that a nasa pilot would feel a liitle shy of operating it starts a process the minute you sit on it. so i take a firm hold of the STOP button and hold it the whole time Liz says about the food thing while i am on the loo and we said its was an experience and then she basicly dared me to take my finger off the button so here we go with this comes the flush mmm not too bad then silence 
i will get off now 
bad idea i am not sure how this thing works meanwhile Lizzie can hardly breath as i feel the warmth of a hot gush of water in some very tender spots lets say it tickled to say the least With that complete came the cyclonic warm wind gush as it completed the process 2 experiences down. Little did lizzie know karma was hanging around she sat on the loo and i pushed the button 
.Over all it is a very clean place and the locals a very friendly and helpfull.
This is a item not available here 1 would assume. I felt bad for the rest of the day for him as he was desperate for them poor bugger we have exchanged emails but again language barrier is hard.
