More Shopping

At the market

Jin Li Market

This is where I do some of my shopping. If I have time, I take the bus for 16 cents each way. Otherwise I take a taxi for a round trip price of $3. The Chinese can not believe I am a poor man at home, because I spend so much money on taxis here.

Roommate

This is my other roommate Meng Meng. She is 22 and very much like a child. She lost her father when she was 12 but now she found new father (me). She does everything for me, cook, carry my backpack even does my laundry. I sleep in her bed and she sleeps with her roommate.

The Little Wall of China

An earthquake weakened this wall so it fell down. By the looks of this one I think it will fall down too. It's just like the States. It takes a long time to get things done but for a different reason, all work is done by hand.

Roommate

One of my Chinese roommates, she is called Xiao Gao (little big). She is 26 the oldest of my roommates she is at school on sunny day. Those days seem to be over now. It is rainy season, cold and damp. Not very cold, but no there is no heat so one must wear a jacket all the time even in the house.

Laundry Day

It might take as much as 4 days to dry your laundry here and then it's covered in grime from hanging out in the air.
