Photo Hunt - Old Fashioned, Jidai Okure | Neil Duckett…

This weeks theme in The Photo Hunt is Old Fashioned or Jidai Okure (じだいおくれ) in Japanese although i’m told this is not very polite and have been given some other version to use if the opportunity arises but we’ll stick with this for now….

Um. There are so many things I could say… Thanks for sharing?

Instructional image… I must be doing it wrong all these years as I don’t think I can aim that far and blow dry my hair at the same time.

Pulsating and massaging function… nice… but I have enough psychological problems sitting on a warm bus seat vacated by a stranger.

That’s in Japan? heehee… cause the wordings outside the toilets are in Korean - Hwa Jang Shi (toilet).
I can’t squat doing my toilet businese…I think my legs will turn jellish!! hahahha!

HI! Interesting take on the theme.

as for my comment on Photo Hunters…I was just saying that I enjoy looking on friday. I have the most time then. I get excited about the theme, and can’t wait to look at all the entries. I wasn’t complaining. I was just throwing it out there.
sorry If I offended you.
Have a great weekend.

This is hilarious! Thanks for sharing. We have family that lived in Singapore and they loved the unusual (for Westerners) accommodations everywhere they travelled. Well, I should say, they loved learning of and seeing the differences; actually using the accommodations was somewhat of a challenge. lol

Thanks for visiting

A couple months ago I was at an old temple in Saga Ken, up in some foothills - came across a Japanese toilet, literally in the middle of the woods, and only in Japan - there was a sign asking for cooperation to keep the toilet and facilities clean, and a couple rolls of toilet paper. Perhaps China could take a little learning in this department - as they are quickly becoming an economic powerhouse…got sidetrack…anyhow, have a good weekend Neil.

Don’t know why, but your shot totally made me laugh. Love the pics on the fronts of the doors. Plus, thanks for the lesson in using toilets in Asia. Might come in handy some day. Cheers.

Well…definitely more interesting than an outhouse!
Thanks for stopping by my blog.

After 3 years in Japan, I have somehow managed to avoid using the old style for anything serious, or as we call it… “Riding the Chopper”…but I can feel that day getting closer and closer… nice pictures demonstrating male and female, just in case you were confused or forgot how to do it right!

I myself used squat style toilet when I was small. but I hate using them now! And to think you can find these squat toilet in Disneyland! I thought at least here the more modern style would prevail

Hmm..China/Beijing also has these type of restrooms. As a matter of fact, almost all of the old towns in any part of Asia still uses these. I’ve actually only pissed in them before, but the stalls…well, the doors are only about 2-3feet high when I saw them in Beijing. As I’m walking out, I just see someone doing #2…

Not a pleasant sight at all…

Thanks, I just finished puking.

Uhm, what’s with the giant penis carving in the front?

The images on the doors are hilarious. Double streams instead of a single one. Too funny.

lol…interesting instructional images!

I nearly fell off my chair when I saw the images on those doors. I guess you’d be less likely to go into the wrong loo tho.

The instruction picture is awesome and educational! I think that I’ve been facing the wrong way all these years (I’m a gal with a guys name so don’t be confused…or think I’m weird).
What I was most impressed with was that there was actually TP in the facilities you pictured. During my previous stay in Japan I got caught quite a few times where there was no TP. All those free packages of tissue that are handed out on the street came to my rescue many times !

My husband and I were rolling in laughter when we saw the pics! Squat toilets are also common here in Cambodia, but I would never expect it to be still in use in modern Japan

lol that is common back in the Philippines too..When I left it still common but I’m not sure if peopel still use it there..

Hahahaha! Our Mommakitty had flashbacks to when she lived in Japan as a little gurl - she remembers da “squat” toilets!

Very interesting.

At first…what was that?LOL!Very nice!

Showa da

Hm.. the funny sign..
The toilet is similar in my country…

I found you in Entrecard.

LMAO. Women who squat to pee don’t produce projectiles like that. Free fall, yes, but projectile, no.

Hilarious… but let’s cut to the chase ~ just tell me where can I purchase the bidet-style loo with massaging paraphernalia;-D

I was recently in ultra-modern Dubai where they also have a lot of squat toilets, but being a Muslim country they all have a hose as well..
