I'm not in Portland anymore

This being my first trip outside of the US, I knew I would encounter many new things.  Several of them have been inside my apartment!

Here is my version of "staying in Europe for dummies":

This is very important.  When you first walk into your hotel room, you must put your keycard in this slot.  If you do not, the power will not turn on. Anywhere.

These are everywhere, and are in the floor. They are doorstops. Watch your toes.

I have no clue what this cord in my shower is for.  Could be to turn on the fan. Could be to call the ambulance. I am not willing to pull it and find out.

Seems easy. No clue how to change it from hot to cold, and Celsius to Fahrenheit makes my brain hurt.

Which of these switches is in the "on" position?  Guess again!  Up is off, down is on.

And of course - the gigantic outlets. Thanks again to Valerie for the loan of the adapter!
