マンションのウォシュレット、シャワーの出があまりよくない。管理人に伝えてみた。え？丸ごと新品に交換してくれるってさ！ラッキーラッキー。そういえば昨年サンタモニカに行ったとき、お世話になった人にウォシュレットについて聞いたことがある。彼女は Interesting と Unusual という二つの言葉を用いて答えてたのを思い出した。やっぱりウォシュレットは面白い発想であり且つ奇妙に映る商品のようだ。やはり海外の家庭で浸透することはないかもね。
Shower toilet so called '' Washlet'' in my room, something was wrong. So I told superintendent about it. Sweet! He said that he would get me a new one! Speaking of Washlet, When I visited Santa Monica last year, I asked someone who took good care of me what they think about Japanese Washlets. I just remembered that she used two words to answer ''Interesting'' but ''Unusual''. So that's the impression Japanese Washlets leave to foreigners. I think it will still take time to permeate overseas market.
LOL! I did *not* like Washlet toilets in Japan. I would rather use the old style toilet (hole in the ground) than a Washlet!
ReplyDeleteYou mean Japanese classic style squat toilet lol
DeleteYes! I wish we had squat toilets in America--especially for public toilets.
DeleteI just googled "washlet" lol! I don't know about the US or other "western" countries, but there are still people who use the bidet here, so I think that it would do well. It's not that unusual of a notion.
ReplyDeleteMore than half of us use the washlets nowadays. It could be one of the biggest Japanese culture now haha
DeleteThis looks like a space age toilet from Star Trek. My hotel room in Montreal had one of these but not so fancy with electronic buttons. Everyone I was with acted afraid to use it. I was the only one to say I wish we had bidets in US and I have thought deeply about this before..too much. HA
