Our Apartment in Beibei


We are living in international housing provided for teachers on the campus of Southwest University. I think of our apartment life as camping meets "playing house." I boil water OFTEN so that we have enough on hand to drink and use for brushing our teeth. Everything in the kitchen is in miniature. I bend almost in half to place anything into the refrigerator. However, there is everything you need -- a two burner stove (no oven), a small frig, and cold running water. (There is a hot water heater in the bathroom). We have only 3 bowls, but I plan to invest heavily soon and buy a few plates. We wash our clothes and hang them outside on our patio to dry overnight.

The living room is great - with a sofa, two chairs, a large TV, a small dinette set, and a computer desk. Our bedroom is air conditioned. All in all, life is good. (Connie)
