I go toilet now.

 I am pretty stoked about the fact that the bathroom in the mall I work at was voted the best public restroom in Bangkok by "Happy Toilet" in 2009. I know this because they have a bronze plaque commemorating their achievement as you enter. It's pretty common when you enter a restroom here that there will be a guy standing by the sink who gives you a hot towel and cracks your back for you.  What differentiates this restroom from the others is the toilets themselves. The toilets are made by Toshiba. It must have taken some well-trained and highly competent engineers a long time and great deal of money to develop these glorious contraptions. When you sit down the toilet is electrically heated and emits a deodorizer that is motion sensitive. There is also a control panel on the side with a series of buttons that I haven't dared to mess with yet. One button is a picture of  somebody's buttocks with a fountain under it. I assume this is the bidet function. Another is a profile picture of a woman's head, This one is ambiguous, but I assume it must be the lady bidet function. There are several others that I can't remember, but I'll be sure to take a photo once my camera arrives.
