The bathroom in my flat is really fascinating, though it doesn't have pond-sized jacuzzi nor automated digital shower system. Physically it looks exactly like a typical bathroom back in malaysia, but there are several 'odd' things i would like to point out.
At first glance, it looks normal, sink with mirror (except that weird steam machine)
Then there is an air pump near the window. James asked, "this is not a toilet, no smelly poo-poo gas, what's the point?" I also don't know. But few days later, Limin (super senior) came and explained to us. Actually the gadget is very important, especially during winter, coz when we bath in hot water, steam will be produced and condensation will take place once it reaches cold surface like window or the wall. Droplets of water that remained inside the bathroom will favour fungal growth. Thus it's very important to pump out the steam as much as possible.
The weirdest of all is this icy aluminum base at the shower spot. I don't understand why they choose this material instead of tiles. Apparently it's very common in nz because according to james, his hostel's bathroom in auckland also have this aluminum base. Limin didn't explained its rationale though. The base is extremely cold in the early morning and night, which is time for me to bath. Can you imagine how much courage that i must have everytime i put in my first step into shower room? Why should i be punished for keeping myself hygenic? WHY......Guess i have to reduce the number of shower that i take everyday then.
