Yuri from Ninja Girls, a popular blog about the Lion City from the female Japanese perspective, recently named five features of Singapore's public toilets that have given her a bit of a 'culture shock'.
Some of them we agree with, like those "pay toilets", which, easy enough, are the pay-first-pee-later kinds usually found at hawker centres and ulu heartland malls. "I'm totally OK to pay 10 cents, but I thought I want to go to washroom first... I held it in and looked for wallet in my bag and paid... It's inconvenient!!!"
Agreed, Yuri-chan. Which is why sometimes we just run in without paying, get jiggy widdit, then come out to pay... if the 'guard' is awake and eyeballing us. (What, like you guys have never done it.)
And we also agree that some of these mega shopping mall toilet signs are ridiculously deceiving.
Oh, look! A toilet!
Oh wait, gotta turn right just here
Oh there it is! Wait, it's not
You know what, I'm just gonna take a piss right here in the corner
About that hose, though — stop showing off, Yuri! We know you have bidets in Japan, but over here, we have to do it manually, OK? Except at Orchard Central, their toilets are pretty swanky.
