I am like my mom...

to a great degree.
all those years disgagreeing with my mom...thinking when am her age...blah blah
the circle is closed
I have traits from her in me. I can recognize them now.
The universe at work. What I disagreed with , can't even remember now, I must carry within.

Gym(nasiums) in the USA, SouthAmerica, and Europe

The name comes from the Ancient Greek term gymnós meaning "naked" (From wikipedia)

How much can you deduce from the culture in a gymnasium where showers are private, semi private , or shared?
Where changing rooms are again private, semi private or non existent at all?

I find it fascinating to even start to understand all of these nuances in different countries and how my own comfort level has changed.

Beautiful people in Colombia in very proper and private locking rooms for females, same as in Peru. Private showers in both countries.
UK already semi private, same as in South Germany where I visited some years ago, and finally Finland where showers have no  divisions really one big space.

Not to mention what women carry. In Finland one extreme, as little as possible it seems, in Lima you can see women dragging around a carry on.

Comfortable with nudity. Or not. how much. how come. I am with the Fins ....
