So,
I know many foreigners (I'm USA citizen) here at my university that prefer taking baths over showers.
Question: Do you shower or bathe (to clean yourself, not for relaxation)?
I'll go first:
As an American, our society kinda runs pretty fast I think (though I can't say for others), and I feel you don't have time to take a bath so showers are a necessity. Although, I do enjoy a bath when I can find the time and place (as the place I currently live doesn't even have a tub), but this usually isn't for cleaning but more relaxation.
I also take a shower every morning before I go to class/work. Another question I want to ask is how often people clean themselves.... As I have also found out (the hard way) that many foreigners take showers/baths far less often.
