Plus the toilets here are beyond me technologically…

You know… I’ve heard that Korea and Japan have some pretty nifty toilets/toilet accessories… far beyond the simple automatic-flush kind that we simply United Statesers have.
I would ask for a picture, but that might be kinda creepy.

I wouldn’t say that’s creepy…and indeed. I remember the first time I sat on a heated-seat toilet in a mall in Japan - needless to say quite startling! And my host family had one with quite a few buttons I was afraid to touch in case I got squirted in the ass…
The ones in Korea had the noisemakers of flushing to cover up whatever natural noises you’d make - you see that in Japan too…hope you’re doing well! I’ve had a few gummis so far, but so much food…I actually don’t feel like eating much now…??!
