And those showers they have where the shower is basically a tiled area with a drain.

What kind of shower construction is this better than?

You wouldn't believe the number of times I've stubbed my toes getting into my fiberglass bowl of a shower! Love those tiled floor showers you just walk into. The best I've seen wre in Turkey.

Re: Ain't this America? (none / 0)

The first time I saw one was in a hotel in Tallin. I walked in and at first was like, "where's the shower?" and then a few seconds later, when I realized the idea, I was smitten. It seemed so subversive, to just let the water go wherever it goes, but so logical, to just tile everything and install a proper dehumidifer and stop waging the unwinnable war to keep the water in the shower and off the floor and walls.

Honestly, I love my olden claw foot tub I have now, but it makes showering a bit messy.
