I have to say, however, that i was a little embarrassed the first time i discovered this.  I was in a newly-remodeled bathroom with a fancy toilet that didn&#8217;t have the flusher in any of the usual locations.  I looked all over for it and couldn&#8217;t find it.  It seemed like a long shot, but i saw this handle just below and behind the toilet bowl.  I couldn&#8217;t find anything else remotely like a flusher, and it wasn&#8217;t sophisticated enough to flush on its own, so i turned the handle.  Of course, i was sprayed hard right in the forehead by a jet coming out of the toilet bowl.  I had to contain myself to keep from laughing hysterically.  I stood up, wiped my eyes and then finally saw the flush button about five feet up on the wall above the toilet.  I exited the stall with a difficult-to-control grin on my face and a very wet t-shirt.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><em>Actually, this isn&#8217;t really a bidet, but a toilet\/bidet combo.  As far as i can tell, there is no word in English for this, although there are a few trademarked terms, like `&#8217;Washlet`&#8217; and &#8220;Bidet-Loo&#8221;.  The Arabic word \u0634\u0637\u0627\u0641 is for the part that actually produces the rinsing jet.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are some things about this country that i really appreciate, like the ubiquity of bidets.
