My boss told me over lunch in Japan the public restrooms don't have toilet paper and random people on the street everywhere hand out little bits of toilet paper with ads on them. Anyone experience this before? How come Coppola didn't add this in Lost in Translation?
Edit: And he told me in the hotel room bathroom built-in to the toilet seat was one of the water shooters that clean your a$$-hole.
Edit 2: He also said that it is shameful for Japanese girls to be virgins, so they get their cherries popped by a professional (male prostitute?). Is that too much of a generalization or is it true?
1.) Your boss is an idiot.
2.) Your boss has never probably been to Japan, and is an idiot.
3.) Your boss is an idiot.
4.) Toilet paper is in public restrooms, at least in ALL the ones I've been to - and the people handing out the things on the street are in fact handing out TISSUES with advertisements on them, not toilet paper.
5.) Hotel bathrooms have built-in bidets and heated toilet seats which are common usage throughout Japan.
6.) If you actually believed the sex thing I have serious, serious fears for the future of the world. Finally, your boss is an idiot.
Japan is generally a sexually very restricted culture publically, but many Japanese girls are sexually active before they hit high school. But no, male prostitutes don't take their virginity. Was your boss high when he talked about this, and how ignorant are you that you even think that your boss knows what he's talking about? "Too much of a generalization?" If something doesn't make sense to you, it's probably not true...regardless of how alien the civilization may be.
