Tangla, Beijing, China


Remember all of those great things I said about China the other day, loyal reader? Well, not every Chinese hotel is the Tianjin Renaissance…

• This shower also featured the handheld showerhead/rain shower combo. But, the rain shower was the only real option.
• Massive, massive flooding.
• The handheld showerhead would only stay on the wall if it was pointing its weird high pressure vertical strip of water directly at a hole in the glass shower sealing.
• The rain shower also floods the bathroom, but not as badly.
• So, no real choice but the rain shower! Which is just stupid for actual showering. It’s not like you can stand under the entire thing. In order to be in any position that allows the occasional breath, you’re only going to be under a small fraction of the water. Which means it essentially becomes a regular showerhead, only it pours directly down--usually at low pressure, is inconveniently right in the middle of the shower, and you can’t move it.
• Tiny, tiny shelves (note my collection of showering products on the floor).
