It's amazing what a good shower can do. FINALLY at hotel #3, I have had the first decent shower in the four days I've been in Beijing.
First night in hotel #1 which didn't even exist on the city map, I didn't have much of a shower. The showerhead wasn't working properly and the water didn't drain away. I stepped out of it before I flooded the place! And as it was already late by then, I decided to sod it and jump straight into bed. It was very unpleasant though, as I was really looking forward to a nice, warm shower after being on a plane for most part of the day.
2nd & 3rd nights in hotel #2 which existed right on the edge of the city map--but still far from civilization--I didn't have a decent shower either. The showerhead wasn't working properly either but the water drained. I got my shower, albeit not a good one which left me feeling nice and warm.
And now at hotel #3, I finally get what I've been longing for in the past few days. Though no Hansgrohe shower set it is, at least its shower is in working order. The water pressure is decent and the water spray comes down as it should. The warm water comes down on me and I feel so grateful for it after my walk in the cold night.
My happy disposition is slowly returning!

Nice showers are good.
Now all you need to top it is an ofuro or even an onsen in your hotel and you'll be all set!
