Japan's Greatest Invention
Great cars, awesome mobile phones, mind-boggling technology and incredible toilets are among Japan's many accomplishments, but not much (in my view of the world) can rival the o-furo. There are few things more wonderful than a hot bath at the end of a long day, and the Japanese have mastered the art. Built on ancient tradition, baths in modern houses are set up so that you take a steaming hot, ultra-cleaning shower before entering an even hotter tub to cleanse away any remaining impurities and woes from your day. No wonder they can come up with all of those handy inventions!

Kenja,
Well said! Gosh, I wish I had a setup like that right now. It sounds incredible. We are so proud of you!! Keep up the great work.....Lu
Wow GSE Team! Can't believe this month in Japan has come and gone, as they say! I am so impressed with how you guys so quickly immersed yourselves in the culture. (I can truly get a feel for the hot bath, Kenja....mmmm). Of course, I am a bit more impressed with the technology than you are, but I suppose seeing it first hand on a daily basis kind of takes a bit of the novelty away. Your blogs are fantastic and the photos have been awesome! You all have come such a long way from the rehearsal presentation last month. :) Can't wait to see you guys when you get back. Til then, Sayonara....
man sounds great; dare i say it? sounds so much better than the spas i be going to...i'm telling sean all about the food and "japan's greatest invention" he wants to eat where the sumos eat, lol, i told him he was a big nerd and that if he’d just put his hair up he would look like one, probably be mistaken for one there, can u image my big ol cherokee/pawnee boy in japan? one day we'll be there his good friend kush is somewhere out there.
