I heard rumors about it and couldn’t quite believe it but here it was a toilet paper dispenser with payment via WeChat. I was lucky that my wife put 10 RMB on it foresting purpuses because otherwise I would probably need to call her to come in and pay for it.
It was 3.8 RMB and you get a small package of wet tissues. I have no idea if they dissolve as easy as normal toilet paper but I like the Japanese way with water bidets better.
On the way out I also realized that there is another dispenser for normal toilet paper at the entrance -you also pay for it with WeChat, not sure probably it’s cheaper, sneaky.- ah no it says scan it for free paper, I guess it’s played by advertisement.
Anyway cool mall here l, very flashy in the middle of Changchun by the train station.
Even in Shanghai having TP at all is a pretty new thing. Even 5 or 6 years ago you’d find nothing at all in the stalls if you left some pretty specific tourist areas.
So what did people use, a stick? /gen
I know some places that do it that way, or maybe a squirt bottle with water or something? Benefit of the doubt, maybe this is just a cultural thing.
You carried your own TP or didn’t poop outside your home.
