September 16th, 2009 BrianPublic toilets. Harborer of millions of bacteria, a place fit for rape, and a haven for junkies. But not in Shinjuku. In Shinjuku things are different from the rest of the world. In Shinjuku the public toilets is the best place to lay stool and to wee. The place isn’t it exactly clean, but they have the atmosphere of a living room. A room where men gather without worrying about anything in the world. There are no dividers between the urinals. And everyone is welcome.
Everyone is at ease in the public toilets. That is, until the gaijin comes. Like Moses walking trough a sea, A gaijin enters the public toilets. It is the gaijin who is truly without fear in the public toilets. When the gaijin walks in, time slows down and Funky Town starts playing. The experience of walking into a public toilet in Japan as a gaijin is a feeling you will never experience anywhere else in the world but Japan.
Miles before you reach the urinal you unzip your pants in true Japanese tradition. Is it me, or is that a disco-ball that is being lowered trough the ceiling, as I unzip my pants? You see the Japanese men focus on you. You feel like a king as you whip out your penis. All of this happens miles before you even reach the urinal. Every man in there wishes to bask in the glory of your epic wang. No matter how small yours is, you know it is the biggest one in the room. And the Japanese know it just as well.
The Japanese who do not turn around, who do not feel the friendly intimidation of your dingdong stay put and empty their bladder, are the ones who are likesized. As you reach the urinal you feel the need to have eye contact with them. And they feel it just as well. One second eye contact, where both Japanese and Gaijin raise their eyebrow in a friendly manner is the way of acknowledgment of each others respect.
As you empty your bladder time starts to move at normal speed, Funky town fades to the background, and in a respectful manner the Japanese continue their activity. The disturbance has faded. Everyone, Japanese and gaijin alike is equal again. The rainforest we call the public toilet has regained its balance.
That, is how Public Toilets in Japan are. Experience them, before it’s too late.

The photos I take, the stories I write, the application I program and all that other stuff. My brain is running in a C4 state at the moment so don’t expect anything to deep. Later on, most probably. :)
