Something About Crazy Toilets

This past weekend was The Lunar New Year in Korea. I think most people consider it The Chinese New Year. On Monday I attended a Korean cultural festival in Daejeon. After watching various presentations on the different elements of Korean culture, my bladder told my feet to make haste for the washroom. There were many people in line to use the facilities, and when my turn came it was a toilet, not a urinal, that was open. I walked into the stall and saw the craziest, space aged toilet I've ever seen. This was my first experience with a bidet. Different colored buttons were everywhere. After doing my "business" I pressed what I thought was the "flush" button. What followed next was probably the most embarrassing experience I've had in a very long time. Immediately after pressing the button a steady stream of water arched towards me. I immediately pushed myself against the wall of the stall to avoid this unexpected spray. Okay, I pressed the wrong button. Out of a possible dozen buttons to press, it didn't surprise me that I chose the wrong one. The problem was that this stream of water passing in front of me wouldn't stop. I was literally trapped between the stream and the wall. Because it was a "number one" I didn't bother locking the door behind me. As water continued to pour onto the floor, the curiosity of others prompted them to see just what the heck was going on. After a good two minutes it finally dawned on me to close the toilet lid, thus ending my embarrassing experience. For the rest of the day the Indians who had watched my comical episode would come up to me and say "You funny man! You very funny man!" Other than that, the day went pretty well. I took some videos with my digital camera but I've been having difficulty with YouTube today. I'll post them when I can.
