(Of course, modern Japanese homes have Western style toilets – often with fancy gizmos like seat warmers! But squat toilets are very common.)
 * We will know what to do if we visit Japan one day! **

Our play practises asking to go to the toilet:

おはようございますせんせい. すわってください. おトイレはいいですか. いいですよ. おトイレはいいですか. はい. おトイレはいいですか. いいえ. || Ohay ō gozaimasu minasan. Ohay ō gozaimasu sensei. Suwatte kudasai. Otoire wa ii desu ka? Ii desu yo. Otoire wa ii desu ka? Hai. Otoire wa ii desu ka? Iie. || Good morning everyone. Good morning, teacher. Sit down please. Please may I go to the toilet? Sure. Please may I go to the toilet? Yes. Please may I go to the toilet? No. ||  || media type="file" key="toilet video laugh.MOV" width="300" height="300" ||
