The Shower


No really, I hadn't noticed this until coming to The Flea Market. But, my daughter has assured me that it's the way it's been in all the hotels too. Surely my shower in Germany had an actual base that was raised from the floor, didn't it? I would have noticed this. But, yeah, it appears this is standard issue here in Sweden. The shower floor and the floor are one.

Notice the piping and faucet in the photo. That's the shower. Standard Operating Procedure: you just hang a curtain and you are good to go.

Doesn't the floor get all wet you ask? Yep, pretty much.

    So, you can just shower while you shit? Sounds like a time-saver to me. ha.

    This would be useful in cleaning the bathroom. I kinda like this idea.

    In Japan they have bathrooms with a tub (used only for soaking AFTER you shower) the shower happens outside of the tub (drain in floor) This made for really easy clean up. I bathed and showered in the tub, but I could scrub everythiong down and just spray everywhere with the hose to rinse.

    I hate that European bathroom! I hate how they do that. My apartment in Sweden has a bathroom very similar to that.
