When I (American) had an apartment in Wuhan, the fridge was not particularly small and our 3-bedroom apartment didn't feel cramped. The beds were hard, but normal size. The bathroom was a little weird — no separation of the shower — but not particularly small. There was a laundry machine but no oven.

The laundry machine was in the bathroom, my wife had to buy an external oven because she liked baking. But these were considered luxury by Chinese standards, older housing built before the 90s could get weird, like no hot water and instead you have a tank that needs to activated a half hour before your shower.
- bouncing 3y agoThe "wet room" thing is in Korea too. I've been told it's for easy cleaning. You just pull the sprayer off the shower and splash the whole room like you're at a car wash. Having said that, the person who told me that was not Korean.
- seanmcdirmid 3y agoIt’s true, cleaning is easy, although I imagine they don’t last that long since I can’t see the grout keeping up without a lot of maintenance. At least it’s not a shower over a squat toilet, those are the worst.
