It's bad food in the States, too. Y'all aren't getting anything special. No need to be mad about it. ;D
--- Quote ---Anyway, something I wanted to comment. This is something I have seen in Cataluña, especially in Barcelona and in the South of France. Never in Madrid or Greece. Some apartments, houses and even hotel rooms have the toilet in one room, and the bathtub and the sink in a separate one. Sometimes the bathtub and the sink are all the way down at the other end of corridor. So, you use the toilet, and then have to walk all the way down to the other end to wash your hands. WHY? Does this happen in other European countries as well?

In the US (and in American movies), I saw only this type:
The European ones are attached to a stake and have a flexible hose. You can position them like you want or take them off the wall. In the US, the shower head is directly fixed to the wall. I was like 'Hey why can't I adjust the shower head?' :laugh:

Well Chrissi, I went to Oxford in June, and stayed with a friend who had the type of showerhead you like, and i hated it.
He didn't have the hook on the wall, the shower head was laying across a shelf. I grabbed it, turned it on, and proceeded to soak the back wall and floor.
:laugh:

I've never seen a bidet, much less used one, but I know what they're for, and would like to have one. lmao! :laugh:

Just never appeared to me that the water pressure is strong enough...
