10 Days & Nights

Things we have learned in this long period of endless rain:

- It's not much fun riding bikes in the rain.

- Chinese students are very kind to offer umbrellas to foreigners who are standing in the street because the pedal broke off their bike.

- Our balcony floods after about five days.

- Our clothes dryer takes about 400 minutes to dry a load of towels, which is why we prefer to use the clothes line when it is not raining.

- And, finally, if the sewer is overflowing, stay far, far away.
