Bathing VS Showering

[SpoiledPrincess]

What are some of you doing that gets the water filthy, do you work in coal mines When I bathe the water doesn't get filthy. A bath has sensual pleasures a shower doesn't I only ever shower if I'm in a real hurry.

the Japanese do it the right way: a long soak in a hot fragrant bath and then a shower to remove the grime.

Actually, the Japanese do it the other way 'round. You wash the filth off, then you soak in the tub.

That allows a whole family to share a single draught of bath water every evening. (Bathing in Japan is an eveing ritual, not a morning one) The father always gets the first soak, while it's hottest.

In fact, when the Japanese discuss the western habit of cleaning one's self in the tub, they often use Swimming Lad's phrase: ssoaking in your own filth.

My Japanese other half insisted that we find a home in the west that had a separate shower and bath. He was horrified at my New York apartment, which had the shower and bath in one.
