Nap Time

During Dylan's naptime, I've been trying to keep myself from taking a nap as well as we all are still fighting jet lag. I have been able to catch a few night owls on IM in the states. But when all my contacts go dim, I have to resort to reading the 12in thick folder of manuals that came with the apartment. There are more gizmos and gadgets than you can imagine! Not all of them are in English so we have some investigating to do. However, I was reading the manual about the bathroom. Where to begin????? Toilet seat - many of you have heard us talking about the toilet. It has the most complex remotes of the bunch. It can be a bit intimidating at first. Dylan of course has no problem pushing any and every button. The heated seat is my favorite option, then there is the automatic lid open and close, auto flush and many different cleansing options. The bathtub has a remote - for the level of water, for the temp., oh and I can press the "Call" button and summons someone from upstairs!! Can't wait to use that button! There are more buttons I just haven't figured out their function yet. I also discovered that when you are done with your shower/bath you can press yet ANOTHER remote (#3) to "DRY" and it will dry it for you. No squiggy needed! Oh and before your shower, you can press a button to "HEAT" the shower area so you don't get cold! And if that wasn't enough...lets just pretend I'm upstairs in the kitchen and I decide I would like to soak...yes, there is a remote in the kitchen to fill the tub at the level and temp I choose!!!!! The Japanese take their bathing seriously! Did I mention the floors are heated? That is just the skinny on the bathroom! The rest of the apartment has heated floors, security system (we've already set off - try explaining to someone in a different language that everything is ok!) During Dylan's nap tomorrow, I will have to read about the Kitchen gizmos!
