This is too funny (probably have to be there).

Check this out:



Very stylish, don't you think? This is manufactured by a company called Duravit.

Stereotypes exist for a reason. :lol::lol::lol::lol:

P.S. I would have guessed La Posada in La Paz, though I never saw one there it would fit the "ambience".

I knew it was closed/taken over by ???? Are those the buildings in the background? I will miss it too. It's the place I stayed with my family on our first trip to the tip about 15 years ago. Kids were still "kids", we stayed in a Casita in the month of July.

Can you tell me what exactly happened there?

Square "Benjo"


Ken, I would guess Japan. Traditional hotels in Japan had traditional Japanese toilets which consisted of an oblong opening in the floor and was accessed by hunkering down in a squating position.

While in the Navy yard in Yokosuka it was not unusual to see the Japanese workmen with their feet firmly implanted on the seat. Thus, with the large, square, toilet seat deplicted in your post, the seat could easily accomadate a Japanese person, male or female. Incidentally, the device seen to the viewer's left of the toilet could easily be a fold down bidet.

Since this is a Baja forum I would surmise your question deals with Baja. But, you did not specify. My answer can be easily contested as I haven't been to Japan for about thirty nine years.

Good luck to all. RRC.

My question is, does the water drain in a circular manner when the water is flushed in that toilet? Probably not. So the design is inferior.

Oh, ... and the acoustics are probably not as good either.

Do people who are seriously constipated eventually end up with a square butt?
