    Icon5 Countries with good shower?

    What are those countries outside of the little Scandinavia? I'd like to visit all but the shower problem is too serious and makes me uncomfortable everywhere.

    Good means high water pressure (above 2 bar or 200 kpa) and max temperature around at least 45°C or 113 °F, and a water-saving showerhead, which I sometimes carry myself. Having the bath tradition would be the best. A simple test is to see whether your skin is turned red and your face hurt when water is right on it.


    Good ones:

    - Japan


    Bad ones:

    - Any South Asian country with (weak) electric heaters. I suspect this is same for all all-year-warm countries
    - Estonia: weak pressure in city, heating is all right with gas
    - Greece: weak pressure and people use storage heaters that are smaller than a bathtub

    I assume US is somewhere in between given you can find every grade. May as well list by city at that point.

    Yes, I would never go to Estonia to take a shower. I would go for their bread, however. I've heard it's fantastic.

    One needs shower at least twice a day to keep body clean


    Their bread was the typical tasteless healthy kind in Europe that I absolutely loathe. I'd recommend stuffed bread or deep fried bread, or a combination of both in Asia.

    Or Danish with beer

    Minimum water pressure in homes in Italy has to be 1,5 bar, but sometimes is quite less (down to 0,9 is still considered acceptable) or sensibly higher (at home I have 3,9 and I have to use a pressure reducer or all of my faucets would fly around the house every time I open the water). 99% of the homes have gas heaters, so you'll be covered on that side.

    Also, you have an obsession for personal hygiene, see a professional (possibly a hot one).

    I'm making a point against Japanese showers - I had to crouch to use them, when I was there. Very uncomfortable.

    Gas pipe or steel-bottled gas? The latter could run out in the middle of hour long shower.

    No I just don't feel right with any sweat and oil on my body.
