        Where, then? I cannot imagine people wandering away from the toilet to another room to wash their butts :D

        But, please do tell where.

          It might be in the WC or bathroom, or “toilets” but it is not inside a toilet (bowl).

          Where I live, toilet = toilet bowl. Bathroom or restroom has the toilet and sink inside.

                Oho! I wonder why they didn’t teach that at the school?! I know they were teaching British English because I live in Europe, but since they for example told that in US English the u is often omitted in words, they could have also told that the toilet is inside the toilet.

                In the German lessons they did make sure we know that in German “in the toilet” means inside the toilet bowl, while “on the toilet” means “in the WC”. Thanks for letting me know! :)

                So, the next question: Where is the bidet actually inside the actual toilet bowl? Do you mean the Japanese ones?

                    In Finland it’s a separate shower between the toilet bowl and the sink. You turn the water on in the sink and when you want the water to come out of the small shower, you press a button on it.
