Oｈ !　My God Story NO. ５２

My first American Shock


It was fifteen years ago when I first came to America.
It was an eight day tour in America.
I was in a group of three Japanese men.

We arrived at Los Angels airport.
Then I had my first surprise in America.
Let me tell what that was.

We wanted to go to a toilet.
So we went into the one at the airport.
All of us got a shock in the toilet.
The toilet bowl for man was positioned very high.

I am 173cm tall and barely reached the toilet bowl.
But Mr. A who was about 160cm tall couldn't make it.
He had no choice but to pee upward.

I know that Americans are tall.
But I wish that they had toilet bowls at lower position.

Oｈ !　My God.
