Here are pictures of our abode. It’s huge so we can’t always find where we left our socks. Four bedrooms and balconies on both the west and east side of our unit. Our nieghborhood is called a Xiao Qu, pronounced Show-chew (the chew being a cross beteen too and chew).

 We have a master bedroom that we aren’t using, preferring to sleep in a smaller bedroom that is quieter (to live in China is means to live in a state on constant construction. Not just nine to five, but around the clock.) We still don’t have Chinese cable. We miss TV almost as much as we miss Toostie Rolls, surfing channels, only if one channel is in English.  We watch a lot of DVDs, including shows that we would never stomach if we could be watching Deadliest Catch or COPS.

We didn’t take photos of our bathrooms or bedrooms. One has been transformed into a yogo studio (meaning, it’s a room without furniture) and another is a small little office.

Please let our moms know the picture below is NOT our home. So they can erase those NAT GEO visuals they have playing in their heads!
