They preserved much more of the past days... I can't image western monks not washing themselves at all to not let them think of each other as possible sexual partners
just look at that picture paiktis posted, they built the monastery on the top of the mountain but the river is all the way back in the valley.
would you go all that way just to wash?
All in all not a very "prefered" people we were

Los Angeles has a newly build cathedral just a block from where I work. It's an untra-modern piece of junk, built to show off the glories of the architect, not the glories of God. What I wouldn't give for one of the European Gothic cathedrals.

Here are a few NYC cathedrals:
St. Patrick, main catholic one:
St John the Divine: (pic of model)
It is still under construction. It will be the biggest Christian house of worship in the world. Trully, it is huge, the Statue of Liberty (without its pedestal) could fit inside the main dome area, standing!
Now, the following is just a church, not a cathedral, but its nice:
Riverside church and Union Theological seminary:

One place which always amazed me was Mont St. Michel. The pastel-colored room at the top makes it seem like you are on another planet.
I never really liked Koln or Chartres. Both are too dark, black, and gothic. I thought Notre Dame was really interesting because you could see the evolution in construction techniques over the 200 years it took to construct.Old posters never die.

honestly, i have to admit i don't know too much about architecture, meaning that i might be wrong describing cathedral of christ the king as gothic. it might be neo-gothic, but it is definitely in that vein.
