In many parts of Asia, the entire room is treated as a shower stall, with tiles and a central drain. Splish-splash, bathtime fun.

we had a hotel room in Rome with an "open" shower with a bidet. The room was as you describe with tile all around and draining to the center of the floor. The bidet even had its own shower head attached to a hose.
The toilet and bidet did not drain to the floor drain,,,, DAMMIT BILL! just so ya know

I've got a minor gripe to air that's been gurgling about in my belly since yesterday. Best it come out here - while it's still uptop - than for it to stick around in my craw and turn to stink.
I got a letter yesterday from the municipality letting me know that my garbage can isn't up to code!
It had been rumoured for the last 2 years that we'd need to upgrade at some point to one of those square wheely jobs... and so we bought one about a year and a half ago. Made sense anyway, to have a big, wheeled one, since the driveway is long and they only come once every two weeks except in the high-summer when they switch to weekly.
A $1 WalMart can of spray paint
But I chose the smallest of the square models.
In blue, so I can tell it from the others all stacked side-by-side at the top of our private road.
And I proudly wheeled my blue small model out there every two weeks -- never more than half full (while my neighbours' larger black and grey models all overflowed).
And now they're telling me that it is TOO small. And must be grey or black, to look like everyone else's.
Fuck, Bill. The machine picks it up fine. I've seen the claws manoeuver it without the slightest hesitation for over a year now. More than that, the sanitation technicians have always smiled at me like everything's just hunky dorey everytime we cross paths. By all accounts they LIKE my smaller blue garbage can.
But now said can is garbage itself. In search of a new métier... a new raison d'être.
Flip the lid on it to collect rainwater (and breed mosquitos???)
Stand-up swimmingpool?
Cut it full of holes and turn it into yet another composter for the forest furries to ransack?
maybe an art car????
sigh....
