I always feel like the hands-free bidet is sneaking up on me, I prefer the control and manual aim/pressure of the gun.

FAQ
"How much does traveling cost?"
Cost of living(rent, utilities, data/wifi, groceries) is $500 USD per month for most countries, $1000 for most others.
"Health care and insurance?"
Health care and insurance are both pennies on the US dollar abroad.
"What about visas?"
Usually don't need them; when necessary, are almost all entirely online: a fifteen minute e-form and nominal fee offset by the drastically lower cost of living abroad.
"How do you make money while abroad?"
Any job that nets you $500 a month works. There are over 2 billion English students globally right now, so native English speakers have lucked into a guaranteed job on or offline.
"What qualifications do I need as an English teacher?"
Some countries and schools require a TEFL certificate or prefer candidates with an associate's degree depending on the position, but if you want to teach English, all you need is to be a fluent English speaker.

Ehhhhh, kinda difficult to pick.
I have both in my house, in different bathrooms. Hands free is nice because it's all lazy and easy, but it actually takes longer by a little bit.
The handheld is faster, and has a nice massage effect. However, there's more overspray, even with the kind I have that's focused rather than just a repurposed sink sprayer like I've run into, and tried.
So I think I err on the side of handheld overall, but I have used seat based ones that had a lot of settings that were really nice, like oscillating spray, pulses, etc. They aren't just about it being nice, they make the job quicker too, countering the flaw most of them have.
i think i err on the side of convenience as well, but i couldn't agree more with how fun a dozen settings are
I remember my first time in the tokyo airport bathroom, they have hands free bidets and i conservatively spent 15 minutes after business time experimenting with the functions.
Yeah, the first fancy bidet I ran across, I was the same way. It was at a friend's house, and they were giving me hell about playing with it after I was in there for a good twenty minutes.
How can you not try everything out?
