Editor's Note: A daily shower is a deeply ingrained habit of many people around the world, but according to a recent survey, Chinese on average have one every other day, ranking the bottom of the list. Share your views about the practice on our website or at readers@chinadaily.com.cn.

Daily shower in a private bathroom is a luxury, not something to be taken for granted in many areas of the world. I am an American and now studying in a Chinese college. I found that not all of my classmates have a daily shower. Some of them even take a shower per week. I would expect to at least notice a faint odor from the students, but I don’t. Maybe Westerners just stink more than Asians.
