Will it work here?

I'm currently in Kuala Lumpur. It's a wonderful place with beautiful and friendly people. I've just finished a successful trip with partners and friends. Very soon Dragon Edge will be in her shelves.

If you've been here or somewhere close you've probably seen toilets that looks like these:



It's very common and you can find them everywhere even in modern locations. I guess it's what some people are used to.

Then the question is... will Holy Seat sell here? Or in countries such as Singapore where such toilets exist?

The correct answer is... I don't know. And anyone who says otherwise is a fool. You have to test it. Find a way to do it cheaply, or freely. You are never wiser than the market. It is similar to when Starbucks first hit the stores in Manila. The specialize in coffee... a lot of it HOT. And I was VERY SURE at that time that it will not survive. How can you drink hot coffee in a hot and humid place like the Philippines?

And after 164 locations of Starbucks in the Philippines (not to mention copycats)... I guess it works.
