Ahh, travel stories!

Greetings, friends and family! I made it in to Thailand about six hours ago after 27 hours of travel, whew. So far, I've only taken a taxi ride from the airport to Rachel's apartment so I can't say I've gotten the Thai experience yet. However, I do have a little story for you that happened during my layover in Japan...

I'm sure ya'll have heard of a bidet, right? Well, apparently in Japan they even have these contraptions in the public restrooms. So, when in Rome, right...? WRONG! After 13 hours on a plane, my bladder was about to explode, so I pick a stall to do my business. I look down and there are 4 buttons to choose from. One was the bidet button to clean yourself (as the picture to the right depicts), so I push it. Within seconds, a shot of water with the pressure of a fire hose came out from the toilet. I quickly jumped off the toilet with surprise. Then it starts shooting all over the bathroom stall wall, so I try and shield it with my hand. After what felt like an eternity I finally found the stop button and thankfully the water ceased fire. There I stood with my pants around my ankles with what looked a water gun fight had taken place in my 2ft x 2ft stall. Let's just say I won't be trying that again anytime soon...
