Back when I lived in Argentina I took a shower twice a day perhaps.
You know, in Argentina we love to waste energy and water as there is a lot of the latter at least, and polute the environment like there is no tomorrow, because who the fuck cares (it seems so anyway)
Also, more important than that is the weather factor, it is fucking hot normally so you will want to take a shower more often.
Since I moved to Germany I take a shower every other day, seems more appropriate, specially given the colder weather where you almost don't sweat, and also it is not a good idea to waste hot water just because of it.

shower gel? what is this?
Shower gel is liquid soap.
Perhaps in Brazil it is the same as in Argentina, people are more used to solid soap when they take a shower.
In Germany they sell solid soap in the Supermarket also, but people usually buy this liquid soap "shower gel" and use that together with a Sponge.
