I noticed that there are Ceramic tiles everywhere i go now here...and i have had endless injuries and deaths stories from obvious falls, so why this practice??

This is such a safety hazard for the elderly...

finally, while i have some tiles in my house back in america...kitchen floor, bathroom walls n floors...the usual places; the make and texture of the ones used on the floors are quite the opposite of what i see here!! Polished ceramic tiles in people's living room floors as well as hotel lobbies?? why?

i see, there appear to be no reason for this...just because it looks good...??

hmmmm!
