A Taste of RV Life

I have a Korean-style shower, or, in American terms, Winnebago-style. Shower, and the bathroom showers with me. The door has a large lip on it, and the floor slants toward a drain under the sink. All the fixtures are waterproof, and there's no point keeping anything on the counter. It's a bit of a nuisance, requiring significantly more choreography than the mindless showering I do at home. The routine:

--put toothbrush/cup in the cabinet, along with anything else that's migrated to the counter

--pull plastic bag out from between counter & toilet tank and cover tp (dispensers in Korea have a flap that goes over the paper for just that reason, but it's not sufficient)

--stuff hand towel into space just vacated by plastic bag

--move bath towel and hair towel from towel rack to outer door handle

--move washcloth from its place on the faucet to the towel rack

--array clothes and hairbrush within reach of door

This setup makes it impossible to adjust the water temperature before getting in. Fortunately, the nozzle detaches from the wall, so I can run the water on just a foot until it warms up.

--Shower. I initially thought maybe the water would stay isolated in one area, but I was very wrong. It goes everywhere.

--Try to dry off & do everything else I have to do without going in & out of the bathroom, because drying my feet every time is a pain. After the first time I showered here, I realized I needed a little mat outside the bathroom. The way the towel rack is positioned, I can't dry my feet and then hang the towel up without stepping back into the bathroom.

--Before leaving the bathroom, remember to reverse as many of the above processes as possible. Some, like getting the hand towel out, have to wait for surfaces to dry.

--Lifting the toilet lid means the seat will probably be dry by the time I get home from school. Likewise, squeegeeing the floor with my foot also seems to hasten the drying process, although I usually still have to dance around puddles in the evening. On weekends, I just have to take my socks off if I have to go later.

One might think this would mean I don't have to clean the bathroom. One would be wrong. It just means the whole place is covered in film.
