New furniture

So the installing guys came today and we got a new oven and new bunkbeds. Very exciting day in Changchun. Of course the mattress on the top bunk is about 1.5" thick. Comfort doesn't carry a high priority in this town.

So its rained here the last couple of days and I discovered something about the Chinese. They don't believe in putting sewer drains at the low points in the road. They put in plenty of drains, they just don't actually drain any water cuz of that whole pesky gravity thing. But, its a great excuse to pay people to sweep rain water out of the puddles and into the drain 20 feet away. I haven't had my camera ready quick enough to snap a shot yet, but I'll get it one of these days.
