Bidets are cool...and refreshing...



"Bidets" were one of the most welcome sights for me in Seoul. One greeted me upon my arrival to my hotel room in Seoul. It's not the European type which stand seperate from the toilet. This is a funky, electronic toilet seat with a seat warmer, water control adjustments and many other controls, such as temperature, angle of water jet and a host of others I couldn't figure out. My frst attempt to use it was worrisome, as I couldn't turn the water jet off and it soaked the bathroom...all the instructions were in Korean, which I can't read.
Afterwards, I was so happy to see these units. I was elated to see one in the restaurant toilet inwhich I spent a good 1 1/2 hours in after getting food poisioning there. Somehow, being sick is much easier when you have a bidet to keep you company.
