Bath in the morning or at night?
2015-03-15
We Chinses take bath before bed at night. In south China people bath every day before we sleep, especiallly in summer. But we don't do so in the morning after we get up. I never think it is a problem until one month ago. He asked, why you don't have a bath? I answered back naturally, i will do so at night, but not now. He just looked at me wieldly, speechless. His response made me uncomfortable. If i don't take a shower in the morning, will it mean i am not clean enough?
Recentlly a friend told me that, morning bath means healthy in work, smelly to others, confidence and enthusiam. If he is right, does it mean that our habbit of having bath at night is wrong? No, i don't think so. Acutally, we can guess a foreinger getting closer without a look but just smell the perfume. Seldom will Chinese do as far as i know.
Morning bath is good. Night bath is nice too. We just make sure that our smell won't bother others. Or if you want to set out a signal that you are confidence, or you want to attract someone others, then little perfume will help you, but please take care it won't too much.
Put it shortly, either taing bath at night or in the morning, don't take it as a fussy.
They are just different habits, and shower at night could make you clean and more comfortable at bed. And I agree with you that anyone who felt surprised with others' daily habits is just making a fuss out of nothing and not inclusive enough.
I prefer to do it before bed at night so far. Also that's a habit for Chinese many many years.
However, I don't think it's bad to have a bath after getting up in the morning.....brilliant idea !
If you have a nice starting in the morning the whole day can be a fresh day. while you take a bath in the morning your mind, physical stamina will empower your attitude. you must have to be touched with people in the day time; your performance will be smooth; your personality and working style increases confidence; your natural body spreading smell can attract people.
but if people have psychology that you don't use to have a bath in the morning, they feel smelly, however you are having perfumes on your body.
A subtle observation. I prefer morning and it seems more natural in the west then. Yet I read that some British women are too busy to shower/bath every day at all
