I must be holiday-starved. Soaking my tired feet made me think of Italy. But at least I finally found the answer to our question after, er, 4 long months?
Bidet Ah, the mysterious bidet. Most people have no idea what this funny shaped, low, cross between a sink and a basin is used for. The answer is quite simple; it is for washing your behind after using the toilet. It is also useful for many other things such as rinsing sand off your feet when you come home from the beach, cleaning dog poop off your shoe, soaking a stained garment etc. The tricky part of the bidet is that each one has a different faucet.. ..I'm not exactly sure why this curious yet useful device never caught on in this country, perhaps it has to do with saving space? Or maybe we just don't want to explain to our guests what they're meant to do with it? Whatever the reason, I don't think we're going to see a surge in bidet installations any time soon. One thing is for sure...the Italians, and most Europeans for that matter, must have exceptionally clean bottoms!
