The one thing I forgot to mention right at the beginning of my experiences was that toilet bowls here are of different design than what I've seen in NZ (or Russia for that matter). The seem to have a lot more water so it feels like you are "doing your business" in pond, at first anyway. Flushing is also different, especially in IBM buildings. Once the flush is initiated, the water seems to be sucked in and then refilled from the reservoir. The reservoir still looks the same as in NZ.
On a somewhat different note, the wash basin is blocked not by a separate plug that is usually attached by a metal chain so it doesn't get lost. Instead, on the water tap itself there is a metal rod that is connected to a metal plug that is permanently in the basin. When you want to block the drain you pull the rod up, which moves the plug down to block the drain. Pulling the rod down opens the drain. This is true for a bath as well.
Shower, has only one knob that goes from cold to hot, just like the one I had at home. But water turns hot much faster...
