Bidet Use 101

Until today, I had only seen bidets in photographs, and the movie Crocodile Dundee. Before Bri and I went out for lunch, I stopped by one of the hostel bathrooms. I went to the bathroom in what I thought was a toilet. When I was ready to flush it, I closed the lid, and looked for the handle. There was no handle, just a little knob. I turned the knob, and nothing happened. Then, I noticed the knob had a tube which led to another knob. I turned that, and heard some water, but it only sounded like a little bit of water, not enough to flush, so I opened the lid.

It was then that I discovered it was actually a toilet-bidet combo. Water was shooting out of the device, all over my pants and shoes. I closed the lid quickly, found the button on the wall to flush the device, and had to change clothes before heading out.

Made me remember an incident with a Turkish toilet at a French reststop. Ended up with squishy blue suede sandals that turned my feet black.
