In my new apt, in the bathroom, sink or shower, when I turn on the hot
water, I have to wait a minute before it gets hot. In the kitchen, I
don't have to wait. Why does this happen?

Presumably the kitchen is a lot closer to the hot water supply.

Add to that lack of insulation. It only makes things worse,
particularly in cold weather. There can be a tremendous amount of heat
loss over a long run of uninsulated pipe.

One time I had the opposite problem in a motel. It was 110F outside and
there was just no way to get the water to come out of the pipes under 90
degrees! As the cold water flowed through the uninsulated pipes to my
room it was getting heated up!
