Passing through the bar on the way out, we decided to make "pitstops" in the restrooms indicated downstairs. Fine, great -- everythingsuper-neat, clean, and modern. When it was time to flush, I was a bit mystified as I frequently am at various devices in Europe. Hmmmmm...Well, on the tank, there was a partitioned sector such as our hotel toilethad. I press -- no result. Hmmmmm.... OK, upon further investigationthere is a sort of lighted button. I press it. Much to my astonishment,a sort of robot arm from the tank partition previously mentioned extendsitself, and the toilet seat rises up about two inches and starts spinningaround while the robot arm is spraying stuff on it. !!!!! I thought thething was possessed! Finally the seat settles back down in place, but itstill has not yet flushed. I do a bit more investigation and discoverthat this is a device for cleansing/disinfecting the toilet seat. Well,fine -- but am still wondering how to flush. Am supposing that perhapsflushing occurs after the spinning cleansing, so I press the lightedbutton once more. Alas, the seat just does the same rising up andspinning routine. By this time, I have located a seemingly unconnectedpanel much higher on the wall. I press it and achieve the desired flush,following which the seat does its spinning/cleansing routine again.
        My jaw is about down to my knees by this point, and I go out tojoin Bryan who has been waiting after leaving the men's room. He hasexperienced nothing similar and about doubles over when I tell him what Ihave seen. I know that Swiss are famous for their cleanliness, but thisdevice put me in the mind of The Exorcist.
