Comment on Even if you're living in a hot country, cold showers are disagreeable.

Absolutely not. I take cold showers in the summer all the time. I mean, they’re not super-cold, if that’s what you mean, but they’re relatively cool and designed to cool me off rather than warm me up (like the hot showers I take in the Winter months).

I guess I’m one of those weirdos in a cold climate who likes finishing off my hot showers with cold water for a couple more minutes. I find it super-refreshing, and can almost relate to the ‘polar bear’ crowd, who seemingly like to finish their saunas off by jumping in to icy water.
I said “almost,” right?

I’ve heard of the polar bear club and I totally get it (although they’re a little too extreme for me). The cold shock of relatively cool water when you’ve just come out of hot water is an exhilarating shock, almost like an adrenaline kick.
