Are westerners being robbed of TP when we get the hollow rolls? Is communism the right path after all?

    I dont think i saw any TP in VN. Everything was bidet and wash hands.

    wasnt terrible. Cold showers constantly and no water pressure were by far more of a culture shock to me. It was more similar to when I would go and hike for weeks on end in college.

      Yeah when they say 10 min max limit, they really mean it.

      And even then you see people taking showers as fast as 5 minutes to save water stored in the tank.

        Do they use rainwater collection tanks for showers or is it just a buffer tank on the roof to compensate for low pressure?

          From what i saw they seemed to be pressure/heat tanks (they were mostly silver or dark and in full sun).

          Looked like most places had their own personal water tower.

      Skin pores close on cold water, making it less effective. Feels gross for me too (hypersensitivity), did that once for a while in a hot summer.
