Sugo: Great racetrack, awful kahzis

Visordown's man in Japan continues his synopsis of oriental dunnies

Tweet
Posted: 22 October 2009
by Mark Forsyth

IN THE high-tech World of the Japanese flushing toilet, it’s nice to know that some things just don’t change.

Race track toilets, that’s what I’m talking about. Even here in Japan, where some toilets play soft music while delivering an invigorating sphincter valeting, it’s a grounding experience to discover that race circuit facilities (Motor Sport Vision excepted) are as bad the World over.

I mean, will you look at this? A glorified porcelain hole in the floor that invites the user to squat like a dog.

Mallory Park: I’ll never be rude about your facilities ever again…
