I'm so jealous of you :)<BR/><BR/>My dad served his mission in Hong Kong and spoke Cantenese fluently for over 25 years until he passed away from Leaukemia. And my bro in law served in Japan (Loeven, maybe hubby knew him?) and he goes there often with his family for work. They LOVE it there and are tall (even the mom) over 6 feet tall, so they def get stares! <BR/><BR/>They told me about the standing shower/baths that are supposed to be shared for the day.

I can't wait to go to Italy with my hubby. I don't know how you did the toilets. I would have to use the bum splash ones as I am sure it would have been, um, not good.
