Japanese Baths and Showers

Japanese bathtubs (ofuro) and showers (shawaaa)--this is from my host family's bathroom. How weird would it be if Kansai Gaidai seminar house shower rooms were like this?

what if a girl is on her period? Can she go in the tub then? :o

[brotherannie]

@xXPandaTsubasaXx No, you don't get in the tub if you're on your period.

@brotherannie Let me say this, I'm a guy. But what's the big deal with that? I know there is blood but doesn't it stop after a while?

[brotherannie]

@cosmosvision Yeah but you never know when it's going to start up again, and since the whole family uses the same water in the tub, it's just polite to err on the side of caution. But it's nice to hear from a guy that isn't completely grossed out by it!

Okay,  I am American and think it is gross not to take a baths at night. I am second gen American, Eastern European. The reason, because after a hard day working, walking, sweating, etc., you are dirty! It is gross to not take a bath in the evening and climb into bed this way! You also get disgusting sheets, oily pillow cases, and are a smelly bed partner. Yucky..... Sleep is also better with a warm bath.

@dekubaner i dont know about other British families, but in our house we shower in the mornings in the winter to warm up on a cold morning (we dont heat the house either) and in the evenings in the summer so the bed doesn't get all sweaty - I like it:D best of both worlds, imo:D:D

[dekubaner]

i hope someone has already mentioned it, but i think one must shower at night or right before bed even if you showered in the morning, especially if you live in states where it gets hot and you sweat. you sweat even if you don't notice it, even if it is cold.

After watching almost all of your videos, I'm in love with that song you use at the end when it says "Happy Rice Making" lol

I hate their bathing system. I saw a kid in a Japanese shower (in this class TV movie). what she did was put a cover on everything in the bathroom and turned the whole room into a showerroom (of course they didn't show the kid actually shower. come on now! lol). She then demonstrated how she washed her hair and stuff, but man wetting up the whole bathroom to take a shower? lol

@TheLollipopAhh Ah, Japanese people get paid fairly well if they have a company job. Most employees, even government workers get a bonus twice a year. Sometimes these bonuses can be equal to 1 - 3+ months salary. I live in Japan and my wife works for a company and gets paid this way.

I find this video really interesting, to see how different american and japanese cultures are to americans....i am half japanese livivng in america, but i grew up with a japanese mom, so most of my home life stuff is japanese, and i go to japan every year to visit my family. (my life story for ya....haha) basically, the two cultures are jumbled in my head..haha. So thanks for the upload, i really enjoyed! :)
