In Greece, we tend to have navy showers, which means that the water is only turned on when rinsing. I really hate US showers for not having a separate temperature control, forcing me to freeze every time I want to rinse.

I also can't figure out how to actually soap myself up with a bunch of water on me. Do you actually step out of the stream and leave the water running, wasting it all?

I let the water hit the back of me as i soap up the front and spin and rinse while I soap up the rear.

Lucky you. My first shower in the US was sitting down in the tub splashing some water from the lower faucet.

It's not just the US. Many European hotel chains also have some weird ass showers.
