New Phrase: せっけん (石けん)
Meaning and Thoughts: And another word from the public bathroom. This one was also understood as soap but i didnt know the reading, and in fact I had never heard of this word before. it had always avoided my knowledge, until now!
New Phrase: せいご (生後)
Meaning and Thoughts: So I was sitting down on a toilet in a public restroom, and i noticed a baby chair and it said something like 生後5月から3歳まで and i was really proud of myself for understanding from context that this meant "after birth" but i wasnt sure how to read it, so i looked it up and found the せいご reading which makes sense.
