DandoParticipantI hosted some female Japanese exchange students once. I was told that I would need to give them a time limit when they go to the bathroom because they would spend hours in there if they were allowed. I found it to be true. Why do they want to spend hours in the bathroom? What could they be doing?

FrankParticipantI spent 4 years in Japan during the 70’s and lived on base with my wife. I had a job during off-duty time teaching conversational English to young men and women. On several occasions we invited my students to our home to see how we lived and introduce them to our foods (this was WAY before they discovered American fast foods). The two things the women that visited us found the most interesting were our kitchen with all the ‘handy’ cooking utensils and our bathroom where my wife kept all her makeup and other items unique to the American woman. It was like exploring a new world for them. It wouldn’t surprise me if it were still the same. The cooking area and bathroom in Japan were quite simple compared to ours.

AlexParticipantThey spend a lot of time in the bathroom because in their culture, bathtime is very important, almost religious. That about sums it up.

ClaireBMemberI have a Japaneese friend. She too spends way too much time in the bathroom, for styling reasons. The only reason I have for this is that she cares way too much about the way she looks. This might be a cultural thing or its just that she’s narcisstic.
