All about my summer as a corporate wife in India. Not as funny as you might think.

What's different about this bathroom?
See if you can spot things that are really not American here. I count at least 5, maybe 6 or 7.

Hey man,
That is a very respectable bathroom!!!
No division between shower and toilet (hey it's just like a motorhome bathroom), handy orange buckets (you never know when your going to need a couple of orange buckets), is there an odor that wafts occasionally? (that would not be an unexpected though invisible feature of the plumbing), shower taps are at the correct hieght--if you are a midget that is, no counter for your hairdrier to rest on (or your makeup for that matter, and the bonus feature--the fabulous ass sprayer for those who eschew toilet paper.
OK CG here adding to the last comment. There does not appear to be a shower curtain, the plug by the mirror is also humorously high in comparison to the humorously low shower nozzles
1. No shower door or curtain. 2. Light switch plug combo is unamerican 3. No seat for the bidet (thats gotta be messy!) 4. No flusher, gotta use the buckets and messy bidet. 5. Some thing in the second shot to the right might be a toilet paper roll holder but, that would be down right crazy since you got that fanciful kitchen sink sprayer to take care of all your backside business (will need aditional photos to confirm) 6. Orange buckets galore! 7. Vaulted mirror. 8. Heigth on everything is just altogether wrong. 9. I gota also go with CG on the wafts of unimaginable odors that come from that drain in the floor. I can almost smell them now. O-the memories.
This is a fancy bathroom, in a fancy neighborhood, in our fancy ass flat. There's no smells (yet) and actually the worse smell in the local area where I walk is a rotting potato smell from a vacant lot around the corner that I pass on the way to the main street. At least its vegetatable and not sewage or dead animal.
Adding to the wierd fanciness is the fact that all that tile is marble.
There *is* no division between the shower and the rest of the bathroom. Exaclty like a camper but made of marble, with electricity and buckets. There are two drains on the floor; so when you shower there's water *everywhere*. I'm told they were going to install a divider (this building's still being built)
I hadn't thought of the plugs being different; though of course they are.
Of course there's no counter. Pffft.
The "ass-sprayer" as B so elegantly named it is a supplement to the toilet paper roll, which is currently empty. Yeah, that bidet situation I guess is meant to go into the toilet, but maybe into the drain located right below it.
I believe this is a Korean bathroom. I've read that they have the shower non-enclosed. It kinda makes sense if you don't like taking chances stepping in and out of showers- it might prevent a lot of falls!

The most obvious is the toilet and shower together.lolol...almost like a really small camper.

2. Light switch plug combo is unamerican
3. No seat for the bidet (thats gotta be messy!)
4. No flusher, gotta use the buckets and messy bidet.

Sorry, CG christened the water nozzle the "ass-sprayer" not B.
