Fresh flowers, everywhere. In the bathroom, at the corner of desks, on wall mountings, at entrance ways, anywhere. My schools constantly have fresh flowers out. I love it. I don’t know if it comes from educating generations of girls in the art of ikebana, or a “let’s enjoying nature” mentality, but it’s a lovely touch to have fresh flowers looking at you while you wash your hands
2. Bad Idea:
99% of bathroom taps don’t have hot water options. Hot water helps kill germs Japan, it’s true. Also, in the winter when your fingers feel like they might fall off from the cold, because the room you’re in doesn’t have an actual heating system, there is no hot water available to warm them up to regain feeling.
3. Interesting idea:
Toilet slippers. You take off your own shoes and slide on a pair of (in my case) usually too small plastic slippers. You go to the bathroom, you change your shoes back, you leave. It’s a dilemma. On one hand—wearing your own shoes puts you at risk to both peeing on your own shoes and standing in someone else’s pee (when using a squat, not everyone has great aim). On the other hand, you have to put on slippers that someone else may have peed on. In the summer, that means putting your bare feet in these slippers.
