Not only doors but also partitions hide only over our knee.
This type is standard in the U.S. but it is little restless for Japanese. |

He reports there are crashed ices in urinals.
There are some possible reasons.
(1)For deodorization
(2)For dispose of used ices.
(3)For prevent from splashing
But he also reports the floor of this toilet was not so clean, Maybe (3) is wrong in this case.
Without reason, it is strange urinals with crached ices seem high-class. |

We can find so many box-shaped urinals in the U.S.
But I suppose that there are few round-shaped urinals like this.
We can see many box-shaped urinals also in Japan, Taiwan, Korea. They may be affected by the U.S. |
