My life in Singapore. And then some.

I’ve always liked those colored, automatic toilet bowl cleaners. You know the ones. 2000 Flushes, Vanish, Scrubbing Bubbles.

There’s just something about seeing that blue water and inherently knowing things are just a bit cleaner. Especially when public toilets are in question.

Blue bowl equals someone cares about a sanitary toilet.

But, I found an imposter, of sorts, at the Mumbai Taj Lands End Hotel. Instead of blue water, a blue light illuminated the toilet bowl.

This deviance certainly caused a “what the…” moment for me during a middle-of-the-night visit.

Who decided a light THERE would be a good idea? Does anyone really want to see THAT even better? Does it help guys aim better? Does it help avoid “fall-ins” when someone leaves the seat up? Does the wall lack an outlet for a night-light? Does it use ultra-violet light to sterilize?

Huh?!?!?

I almost forgot, as an added bonus, the light also made the seat warm. No one likes this. Why? Because a warm seat means you are sitting there way too soon after someone else. Bad correlation.

It’s just wrong on so many levels.
