Killer Shower

So, I think the shower in this hotel is trying to kill me. It's not a traditional Japanese shower. It's a Japanese interpretation of an American (they say Western) shower.



Firstly, please note the doors. When they close, they close airtight. So when you take a hot shower, you're encasing yourself in a sauna. There's a weak fan inside that spins around the heat.




Inside there's a platform you stand on and the drain is to the side. If you open the door to let in fresh air, the water splashes on the platform and right onto the floor.



Finally there's this detachable shower head. There's two levels on which the shower head can be placed and two knobs, one to start the water and one to adjust the temperature. The temperature is in Celsius, and let's just say my math is getting better quickly after being initially burned thinking it was in Fahrenheit.

So yes, during my shower I gasp for air, then open the shower do slightly to let the steam out and water ends up all over the floor.

I think I have to be smarter than the shower.
