My bathroom/shower is all in one, with a showerhead on the bathroom wall, basically you shower over your sink and toilet, there is a drain in the middle of the floor.

Is this standard or do most of you have separate showers?

(A separate shower would include a shower door or divider of some sort from the rest of the bathroom, with a separate drain.

Actually, separate showers are pretty rare here.

Separate showers are extremely rare!! I am finishing up my sixth year here, and have been in as many apartments. Only one of the six had a separate shower. The only reason that there was a tub/shower in that one was because an American couple had lived in it prior to me. The apartment in which I now live has the wonderful shower head above the sink. I just put up a tension rod and hung a shower curtain from it so that the toilet and rest of the bathroom doesn't get wet. It works. I'm just thankful for good water pressure!

I like having a combined toilet and shower. Now I can pee while showering without it being gross to my girlfriends!

The last 2 apartments I lived in have had a separate shower. The one I am in now has 2 bathrooms... one with the separate shower and the other with a bath tub. I think a lot of the newer apartments are getting into the western shower idea.

I have a semi-separate shower. There is a glass "wall" that separates half of the shower, and I hang a shower curtain for the rest. Except teh floor, everything stays dry. But I don't know why the floor isn't part of this....it gets nasty really fast and needs to be cleaned constantly.

While were at at it, I wish they would add ondol below the bathroom, a la Scandinavian countries. I like a warm floor there, and it keeps the floor cleaner/less moldy as well. Oh well.

[definitely maybe]

Yeah, I have a divider thing, so I feel kind of lucky. But, my hot water is pretty hit or miss. One day its real hot and the next it's freezing (most days actually). I feel like it's completely random.

I have a shower/bathtub with a sweet green shower curtain to boot.

Bathtub is small but has the magical ability to cure hangovers when soaked in.

It's gonna depend on how big and how old the place is. My apartment has a shower / bathtub that's quite large. My boss's place is in the same complex as mine, except his apartuh is much larger, and his has two of the same. His old place, however, again in the same complex, had one of each type.

I hate the combo shower except for one thing- cleaning.
