Generally, a mirror/medicine cabinet above the sink. I daresay if you manage to spray water there, you're doing pretty well.<br/><br/>As for toilet paper, they keep it in a little covered tray. Taiwanese toilet paper, you see, comes in a package, much like Napkins or Kleenex. It's rectangular and already cut into sheets and is actually more or less the same stuff they use for kleenex.<br/><br/>Anyway, they put it in the little tray, which also has a clear plastic lid that covers it, so you can see whats inside and it won't get wet.

Like we have a decorative cabinet and pretty vases and little paintings and stuff. I wouldn't want that to all get wet. And what about the toilet paper on the roll? I don't want that to get wet.
