Well alot of people have been wanting to know where i have been living the past couple of weeks. So this letter is describing my housing and the wonderful features it has to offer. Well i start of with my bed. Its a queen i think, lee thinks its a king but i dont think so. Well there were 2 beds in our apartment. We made a deal, the person that got a smaller bed got the spot closer to our heater named Henry. Henry the heater is small but has a huge heart and helps so much to keep us warm! Thanks Henry!!!
Next is our massive living room which is currently occupied by 2 or 3 massive moths! Like huge! About the size of a tennis ball! hahaha yes there is a tv but no, it doesnt work. Welcome to China! We bought some badmitten supplies and plan to take our living room back from those giant creatures so we can play badmitten in our flat, aka apartment. But it's huge and everything is tile so that doesnt help with the whole being cold situation.
Next is our 5 star kitchen. We have a chinese dish set complete with chop sticks! Booya! Our stove is run on "propane" so they say...but trust me i know the smell of propane, it doesn't even smell like it! Well we use the stove to boil water to kill all the bacteria in it to put our "cup of noddles" chinese style! They are sort like the cup of noodles we used to have up at bogus basin. Yes they are getting old very quick but it's food, right.
Once i start feeling better we have been told of a good market to get fresh fruits and veggies, rice and so i was thinking on the weekends (when the cafeteria) is closed i could make so nice fried rice or something like that. Time to start improving my cooking skills! Thats how i see it anyways.
Hahaha

Yeah my favorite part!!! Our bathroom. Now that hole in the ground is our toilet. Its called a squatter. i think you can use your imagination of how its used! hahaha different but the position does help get everything out. No joke! 
Also this is our shower. See the hose on the wall? It leads to a shower head. Yes, the shower head is too short. i think it comes up to my shoulders! hahaha. Well there is another "propane heater" outside the door. You turn on the propane to heat your water. The settings are burn your skin hot, just enough heat and freezing. There is also a settting for the pressure of the water. Those settings are trickle, a pre soak (like a car wash), and low pressure. So its easy to say you don't stay in the shower very long. There are a couple of reasons for that; the room has no vent so it gets really steamy, there is a big window so everyone can see, and oh yeah there is a huge hole in the floor. hahaha
Well this is a little about covers my home here in China. The walls are very plain white so i am trying to find things to decorate my flat. Oh, and if anyone wants to join, you are more than welcome to come on over because we have 3 rooms that aren't being used. So we have room for vistors! I think the whole flat is 1800 sq/ft. Huge and cold! Well i hope to hear from everyone! Questions are always awesome so don't be shy. Well i love you all and i will talk to everyone later!
Love
