> I hear western kids saying no one used to bathe in the ancient times.

Which western kids did you hear from? Every western kid I know studied that in Roman times bathing was a very important activity; as a matter of fact there were very advanced public baths, thermae (which included "sauna" with hot and cold water) in every city.

In my experience, a lot of western kids I know believe that bathing was almost non-existent in medieval times.
