Sometimes the little things are the things that annoy me the most. This morning I woke up and took a shower. I had a cold shower (and haven’t had a proper warm shower since we moved into the apartment). Then I washed dishes and burned my hand (boiling water stuck down a rubber washing glove). I wouldn’t have had a cold shower in the US and I would have used a dishwasher, saving my hand. I had to go to 2 grocery stores to by chicken breasts for lunch. I got a lighter to light the candles (taking away the smell of china during meal times) and they apparently sell lighter fluid separately. I ruined shirts in the wash because the washing machines here are brutal! They stretch and tear fabric. I asked Jodie later to show me what I was doing wrong but apparently that’s how Chinese washers are made. I ran out of water and had to call someone to deliver another (not as easy as it sounds). Not to mention the internet that should have been installed 2 weeks ago is not installed.
I made a wonderful lunch, it took forever since it involved cleaning veggies and meat before cooking. The visit with Jodie was the best part of the day (not to mention watching Louie crawling all over my area rug). I made a plan to stay in tomorrow and just pretend I was in the US. Apparently that is something that helps a lot of people here…to have a no China day.
