Lessons this morning and then at lunchtime we finally moved into our apartment. It's quite nice - very spacious with 2 bedrooms, a living room, dining room, kitchen and bathroom. It came complete with a 42" plasma tv, small garden, broadband, a piano and 4 fish!! The only things not so great are the kitchen and bathroom which are decidedly Chinese. The bathroom we will have to get over (at least we have a Western toilet) but we have already agreed not to keep the kitchen door closed and never go in there! Should be no different to how I lived in London! I can't really describe what is wrong with it (the photo's will follow soon) other than the fact that it is really just a sink, a trolley and a fridge which all have an overwhelming smell of mushrooms!!! Went to Big Pizza tonight to celebrate moving in then to the local supermarket to stock up on cleaning materials - the Chinese do not seem particuarly fussy when it comes to the way they clean!
