America vs. Japan Round #2

Things I will miss from Japan:
heated toilet seats
the general public's amazing fashion sense
ofuro

There was a time when sitting on a warm toilet seat gave me an image of a person who just couldn't get out that #2. But here in Japan that image has changed. When I actually find toilets that aren't heated I give a little yelp cause it freezes my behind. I personally think a warm seat makes going more comfortable, especialy when you have to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, sitting on a cold seat would wake you up.

People in Japan dress the best I've seen in any country I've been in. When you are young like me you dress very cute, and when you are old you dress your age. No wearing tank tops and booty shorts for grandmas. The girls my age know how to dress and I like Hirakata's popular style. As a side note, Kansai Gaidai is in the top 5 best dressed universities in Japan. And I believe someone said it was number three for a long time.

Ofuro... my wonderful ofuro. The weather is getting nicer and I won't get to have you any more. Ofuro, a hot bath you soak in after you shower, is the best Japanese invention ever. Think of it as a spa for you westerners. You sit in reeaally really hot water and it just feels great. Can't really do this in the states cause Japanese bathrooms are special. I will miss this a great deal as well.
