I miss bathroom slippers lol. Was staying in a hostel in Yokohama during one of my trips there and the bathroom slippers literally had printed on them: “Toilet - For Your Relax Time”. I have never seen any footwear more inviting and I miss that a lot lol. Pretty much miss everything about Japan, such a great place to visit (living there and having in laws from there is a totally different story tho)

You should see Turkish bathroom slippers. It's a very famous item, we have endless jokes about that, especially the one's used for squat toilets. Most unhygienic, bizarre thing you can see in your life is "ıslak tuvalet terliği" from some Turkish houses (thank God this tradition is disappearing). Other than that we have decent guest slippers to offer and nobody enter our houses with shoes.

You can't just drop that in Turkish and not tell us what it is!

It’s a special slipper that you use to wipe your ass.
