On bathrooms...

You walk into the bathroom in the dorms in socks (the shoes are left by the main door) and, if your feet classify as "possibly-Japanese" (< 9), you put your feet into some provided slippers. You've got a half-dozen stalls, each with a high-tech seat.

The seats are pre-heated; in the summer it makes every seat feel like someone was in it 2 minutes ago, but apparently it's good in the winter. You sit down, and you hear a fan start to keep the smells from going out. Then you've got the buttons on the side; two "bidet" buttons, a "stop" button, and a button to fake a flush. You stand up and the fan gets stronger until you flush.

The sinks are motion-activated, but the dryer dries with a high-pressure line of nozzles (like a line of air), and your hands dry in about 10 seconds.
