I think that you are pissed because you have unreasonable and weird expectations about trivial things.

Bathtubs? Danes are (allegedly) the happiest country in the world because they have free health care, excellent education, wealth, political freedom, stability, etc. etc. Not because of the size of their baths.

I know how the effect of culture shock can be; everything seems weird and even small trivial things are horribly, almost infuriatingly alienating. But culture shock is a psychological, irrational phenomenon. This is about you, not about the country.
