It seems to work fine, although it does mean you can't keep a box of tissues on top of the toilet tank. It doesn't matter because if you ask someone for a tissue, you'll be offered a paper towel or a personal pack of tissues.

Flush
Even though water conservation wouldn't seem like a big concern here, all toilets have a dual flush system.

Despite conservation in almost all other areas, paper towels seem to be used everywhere. I have yet to see a cloth napkin outside of a thrift store. It seems standard to put a roll on the table, for which they use special holders.

re: toilets
ReplyDeleteWe'd never experienced so many different ways to flush a toilet as we did on our previous sabbatical. We spent a lot of time traveling in the UK and No. Europe where there is no standard for toilet flushing mechanisms. Xandie was only six at the time and often needed help "figuring it out".
Your observations are just wonderful. I so enjoy the insights you share and your comments which accompany them are priceless - you need to publish this blog in a blurb book (or similar online publishing service). It would make quite a remembrance.
