Many Americans abroad do not understand that the ice cube, in Europe, is not meant as a device to actually cool drinks.

All too true
chuks. As far as this American is concerned the French have never figured out ice, and showers.
The ice situation I have learned to overcome with stealth and deception. However, I still cannot figure out to take a shower, even in a rather large bathtub that never have a shower curtain installed, without getting water all over the bathroom floor.
Have I ever told you the story of the very nice large semi-suite hotel room in Bordeaux, France? The one where there was a very nice bathroom with a double sink marble counter, large bathtub with a shower head (no shower curtain of course) and a bidet, but no toilet.
