A Fight

Today we had a fight about toilet.
A way of cleaning the toilet in the boat.
I could not believe that my daring put his hand in the toilet bowl and wash it by a sponge.(Even I could not stand it!)
After that he wash the sponge in the kitchen sink. 
I could understand because that was the only way which he could do in the boat.
(Actually NOT, He could use a bucket instead of the sink.)
Moreover he wiped up around the sink by same sponge.
At last he took an another sponge to wash in and around sink (that was whole kitchen), but he had not washed his hand yet.
I was so upset about that, it was like an end of the world!

He claimed he was right because it is his boat (special!), nobody use the toilet except he and me, and it was "rough clean", so we can co cleaning properly later. "Just rough cleaning" he said strongly.  
I understand his thought that it is his boat and difference from a house.
I asked him that if I wash our house toilet by a sponge and use the sponge to the kitchen, are you happy about that?
He said that house and my boat are different, my boat is like my girlfriend, so I treat her like that.
I did not care how important the boat for him or not.

Then I said, if he will not stop to do it, I will never go for sailing with him! 
To me, any boats are same, and boats are same as houses.
(He sometimes has visitor on his boat, too. It could be worse.)
And, to me, I could never stand his way of cleaning on the boat.
All toilets are toilets, just toilet!  Toilet could never been use for cook. 

And I understood his thought that after rough cleaning, I can do proper cleaning with some special detergent.He said so.
But even though the sponge which was used to toilet, should never use to any kitchen for a rough cleaning. I can not stand even rough. I will be mad!

Today I thought this kind of problems are not even our characters, but also our different culture.
For example, some European people would never surprised about the way of his cleaning. However I am sure all Japanese will be gone mad. 

It probably is not a big deal. Not many people have not got sick often.
However this kind of cleaning makes Japanese absolutely MAD! 

The way of clean is not whole perts of him. But might be a bit issue.

(tonight, I can not awaking any more. I will finish it laterr..
