Awry AI Bio: Powered by coffee I like to live, laugh, love as I bicycle confidently to my rewarding career or to the botanical gardens. I adore Japanese culture & toilets, but not the complexity of the modern toilet; I like the good old traditional get-on-down & squat toilets of the Edo period.

There are blue dots in blue places so ‘mortally embarrassed’ they, with fingers in ears, chant “make it go away, make it go away.” But, dear reader, is this the way to make it leave?

The Japanese toilet’s privacy function is a mixed blessing in a small room. The waterfall feature sounds like a drain & crumpling foil. It brings every one of your esteemed guests’ attention to the ruse. I can hear them giggling in Japanese. It’s going to the masque ball trouserless with a name tag.

There’s a reason governments favour alcohol culture, legalise it & nothing else: Japan, Oz, UK. - it makes a culture more aggressive in its drunk & hangover phases. - it comes inbuilt with Calvinist punishment.
