Arabs and Japanese Toilets

*Note: This is not a direct, nor accurate translation. it is not intended to be. I subtitled it quickly in 5 minutes, just for the purpose of at least getting the humour across. I'm too lazy to do word-for-word, but if you'd like to subtitle this yourself, check out overstream.net.

Pan-arab news and entertainment channel, mbc, sent a delegate to Japan to observe and learn the ways of their toilets. I subtitled this myself, but not word-for-word. I just tried to capture the essence of the message, while leaving out all the fluff. This was just too funny that I couldn't let it go without it being shared. As you can see, the amazement and bewildered experiences this guy faces ain't that much different than ours over in the western hemisphere. Conclusion: Japan really is crazy!

Here's the original video without subtitles:

I now know some Arabic - "flush" and "we make studies" (3:50) lol

@evilrobottolhurst Indeed, my favourite part was when he was intrigued by the fact that someone would...study...the time one needs to make the flushing sound to cover undesired noise factors.

I haven't seen any thing much more stupid and time wasting than this, he is amazed from a simple toilet and forgot that Arabs are the founders and inventors of many sciences and technologies. really a shallow person.

@kingofbad1 yet in arabia we don't have toilets with buttons!

the translation is not accurate , and this is a part of 30 episodes show that shows the aspects of life in japan , they didn't come to see how Japanese take shit , he is just being funny . by the way , the man didn't say this terms "butt , poop " its considered impolite to say so in the Arab culture .

[BASEM434]

I'm an arabic .so why the translitation contain some wprds that he didn't say?!!!!l

such as butt or ass or ...etc

please translate the real translation for non-arab people
