That kind of shower set up is pretty common in lower rent places in Japan. I think the idea is your bathroom is just going to be constantly wet. That's why you have separate water proof sandals for the bathroom.
I don't know very much about any of the set ups in China though, so I don't know how common that is.
It's hard to balance cost of living with quality of life also. Because there's lots of places in the world where you can survive on less than a 1000 bucks a month. But I also need lots of healthcare and electricity and electronics to survive too.
DK! Your couch looks so nice! Good job!
Is it soft? Is the fabric ok?
I recently got a chair. The stuffing is great but the material is a rough denim type. So I threw a blanket over it. All better!
I liked have the pretty cards but I didn't play YGO or Pokemon cards as a kid.
I did play Magic the Gathering as an adult but that's super expensive. Especially if you want to play competitively. They're always banning cards from the games. And you can only have the most recent sets during competitions. I understand it keeps everyone from having the same decks, but it's still annoying.
