Our New Place


It has already been two weeks by now, that we are back home. The first week was pretty tough cause we had a severe jet lag and we couldn’t do that much .In fact the weather and food and everything was annoying back home.

The only thing on those couple of days were nice to see ,the first was our old restaurant which the owner treat us in special way and we practice our Chinese somehow the second was our old bakery which produce special home-made bread and we missed it.

I had chances to install the proxy and edit my blog stories and moreover review my Chinese stuff and finish some English novels, contact friends on Facebook, but now I am abandoned for couple of days till have access to net again.

Anyhow we tried to contact people from university to move on to a new place. Last Wednesday eventually we got the key for our new apartment .

it took 2 and half days to move. God I can’t imagine how much bulky ,crap thing I have gathered.

I got rid of some worn out, bulky clothes and more than 3 boxes of shoes and clothes left behind which hopefully will be used by some poor people who are we always seeking and hanging around garbage boxes to find something to eat. If that works I will be rather not to have shit around me and others use them.

We are totally happy these few days to be in this new place. We are on the third floor .This place is smaller and cozier.

Basically we can say much more homely.

This city has so much pollution but when you are not living in high buildings, then you have some advantages as: receiving a better water supply,I mean the pressure of water is much better, and more over, using the stairs instead of lift, even so it seems annoying ,but if the lift is full of people and every single time and you have to wait more than 5 minutes ,especially in rush hour ,to be able to get into the lift then ,you wish you had never had any lift.

This city is located on the North West of China on the line of using heating system for winter, as winters have a bad reputation of cold weather, having cheap heating system is another precious thing.

Electricity in this country is so expensive and not doable for everything. A lot of houses use solar system and gas which is much cheaper.

We have a nice lovely living room and one bed room with a great balcony and nice wooden furniture which make life easier as well.

We are going to add some stuff to add some decoration and buy more plants as well.

The only thing which is annoying here is internet connection which we use kind of proxy to be able to use some sites which are blocked in China but this place ,using very low speed, crowded network, which I am hoping soon be back to internet access.
