rest stops
There are several things in that concept that might not seem like they should go together, but we can’t so no to a dessert this unique.
Seems the people of Japan are listening to their stomachs when choosing the best of the nation’s roadside attractions.
Browsing while pooping is an internationally loved pastime, so here’s a clever way to make sure you never leave your phone behind.
On long car trips in the U.S., I didn’t really find the prospect of using a highway rest stop bathroom significantly more appealing than just holding it until I got to my destination, whether that meant waiting until the next city or the next state. Honestly, given how filthy a lot of the public toilets were, I was generally happier with a deserted stretch of road or a grove of trees I could pull over near.
In Japan, though, it’s a different story, as this video of a rest stop bathroom shows it to be cleaner and classier than the one in many people’s homes.
