I have took cold showers too, but that was during military police training. No particular desire to do it now as a FT in China, especially when our chinese counterparts have nice apartments with abundant hot water and bathtubs.

Me? I'm the guy having a hot shower to cleanse his body. You? You are in the clinic on a drip for severe gan mao, or worse, in the emergency room for legionnaires disease surrounded by coughing, hacking, sick chinese.

Does your insurance cover evacuation to HK?

Happy new year,
