we indonesian have to take a shower, twice a day. every morning before working or doing activities, and in the afternoon or evening, usually after working.
living in tropical countries is having big challenge. if we dont take a shower, our body is gonna smelly, stinky, because of the sweat we produce along the day.
we just have two season in a year, rainy and dry season, and what season we have, we have to take a shower twice.
but the range of temperature is not extreme. if it is little bit cold, we use hot water. if we don't take a shower, mama is gonna mad.

@TheHorse In general, you would feel like following that rule. I think early mornings you may not feel like bathing, but bathe because you have to go out and can't later in the day. And yes, sweat stinks. To top it all, we are supposed to be dressed from head to toe. Lucky we can wear cottons. LOL Changing twice a day is mandatory if there is water problem.

@nawala123 That's still pretty warm. Do most people there follow the "two shower rule"?

@nawala123 That was the general rule back then - and we mostly all bathed in the same water. The smallest and cleanest went through first.

Hi there @nawala123 !
It can get quite humid here in the Philippines as well and usually, I take a shower twice - once in the morning before I leave for school and again before bedtime so I am comfortable before I sleep.
