There are certain unique things about Japan. They have cars with names like Perky, Sunny and Mitsubishi Thanks Chariot. Taxi doors open automatically when you approach, and the cars are cleaner than hospital operating rooms. Also, it’s not uncommon to find Japanese women cleaning men’s rooms or men’s public baths despite the presence of men there, a unique cultural oddity about Japan that certainly doesn’t work in reverse. This happened to me last month while I was passing thorough Narita Airport: I went into the men’s room to take care of the usual business and was surprised to see a female airport employee diligently cleaning the toilets, walls and floors while the male airport patrons tried their best to ignore her. She was far from an obasan (middle-aged woman), too, being in her mid 20s and rather attractive, and it made it rather hard to concentrate on what I’d gone in there to do.
Females clean the men’s room with the men still there in Japan.
