Is Your Bathroom Broken Too?

Well, one of our recent arrivals to Korea has been kind enough to remind me that things are different in this country and that I can forget what it's like to first arrive in Korea.

 

This client does have a few legitimate issues with his apartment that we are having the school fix right away, but there was something that made me laugh in his message, having been here for a while. Anyone who has been here for a while will enjoy this quote:

 

"All of this can be fixed or repaired (in time) except one issue- my shower is not separated from the area where my toilet and bathroom floor is. Can you imagine that every time I have a shower my toilet will get wet, as well as my bathroom floor."

 

Yes, I can imagine that very well!  I remember when I first came to Korea, this blew me away too. We took video of us spraying water all over the bathroom and then sent it home for the amusement of others.  I guess we can't prepare our clients for every nuance of this land.  I hope our new friend learns that this type of bathroom ends up being much more efficient.  I know when I return to Canada, I'm a bit frustrated when I can't wash the bathroom with the shower head. 

 

And, as Brant said, it's a great system for teaching people in which order you should be taking care of business in the morning.
