BARFBLOG: Bathrooms in Japan - (barfblog)

June 19, 2008 – 11:22 pm

Michelle Mazur has been working with me for several months. She’s starting vet school in the fall and came up with the cryptosporidium-in-pools infosheet.

Michelle just returned from two weeks in Japan. I asked her to take some pictures of Japanese hand washing facilities and the like. In her own words, “I’m a bit embarrassed at how many pictures I took during the trip. At first my group members made fun of me taking photos of bathrooms, but by the end of the trip they would walk out of the bathroom saying “Cool, Michelle, you’ve got to go in and take a picture of that awesome bathroom!”
Michelle’s photo odyessy is available at:

Her commentary is quite funny.
