Oh ! My God Story NO. 52
My first American Shock
It was fifteen years ago when I first came to America.
It was an eight day tour in America.
I was in a group of three Japanese men.
We arrived at Los Angels airport.
Then I had my first surprise in America.
Let me tell what that was.
We wanted to go to a toilet.
So we went into the one at the airport.
All of us got a shock in the toilet.
The toilet bowl for man was positioned very high.
I am 173cm tall and barely reached the toilet bowl.
But Mr. A who was about 160cm tall couldn't make it.
He had no choice but to pee upward.
I know that Americans are tall.
But I wish that they had toilet bowls at lower position.
Oh ! My God.
