Something I already know I’m going to miss when I leave
Bahrain is the bidet hose by the toilet. Never have I felt so clean after a
luxurious perch upon the porcelain throne. I don’t know when or where someone
decided the West had to stick with simply toilet paper, but obviously Bahrain
didn’t get the memo. The Japanese and their Toto toilets seem to indicate that
Bahrain is not alone in its use of water for anus sanctification.
America, God bless her, hacked her way out of the wilderness
with her own two hands, bearing her children along the way…and she used what
she could to get the job done: leaves, sage, newspaper, and now, deluxe super
soft toilet paper. I suppose in the western states this is somewhat
understandable given water scarcity, but in the east they could have thrown a
bidet or bidet hose in from time to time.
It’s just funny because Bahrain has pretty much used up its
natural aquifers and gets at least 70% of its water from desalination; yet,
they’re all about the butt hygiene. And at least for that, I applaud them.

AFTERWORD
Turns out, after a little research, using a y-gate attachment, you can hook up a bidet hose to any toilet. Looks like this good idea is coming back home with me.
