This is our
balcony. It also serves as the clothes
dryer. Laundry is now an intensive labor
that takes a chunk of time a few days each week.
The piece of
PVC pipe we found in the bathroom was more effective as a laundry prop. It is the only way I can reach the hanging clothes
wires outside.
The foldable
drying rack has been a substantial time saver.
This
clothes pin contraption is perfect for socks.
Rick is very
thorough at sweeping and mopping the floors.
The kitchen
sink sprays (all over the kitchen) only cold water. We boil water to rinse the dishes. Rick is a great help with this task
also. (Note the washing machine in the
background.)
Our
consolidated kitchen is smaller than the bathroom. The tiny washing machine is also in this
room. I can reach the fridge, hot plate,
microwave, and sink without leaving my seat.
Is that efficiency or insanity??
Note the
exposed electrical wiring. No, I’m not
at all concerned. All of China is wired
the same way. Remember how much they
like fireworks? We could all be part of
the show at any time. The thought is
electrifying!!

ReplyDeleteYour kitchen in China reminds me of mine in the RV. There are advantages of being in small places. You are lucky to have a washing machine. I love all your creative ways to dry your clothes.
Congratulations on getting to the top of Mt. Tai...what a lot of stairs AND what a lot of people! I'm glad you are getting out to see the sights there in China. I had no idea the air pollution was so bad there (loved the 2 pictures of the stadium--the professional and then yours...it's amazing what can be done with some photoshopping!) Keep on posting. It's fun to read and see what you are doing. And I love that you use the phrase "next time"...it sounds like this will not be your only experience in China.
