Yay for bathrooms!

Sadly, this is not even close to the worst bathroom I have seen here. You should notice something a bit odd if you look at the urinal second from the right. Yes; people will make the mistake and still use it.

Living in an all tile apartment is kind of like living in a really bigbathroom.

After my wonderful traveling adventure from the US of A to my city of Zhengzhou, China, I was shown to the apartment I will presumably spend the next year in (not concurrently of course; my apartment certainly isn't like a prison; I don't have a gym, mattress or reliable Internet connection). I live on campus (one of the campuses; supposedly we have a north, south and west campus at different parts of the city). When first entering my apartment, it looked just like any other building; square and old. We walked in and while entering the cement building, Tom (my friend who picked me up from the train station) started walking kind of funny. He would stomp really hard for a few steps. Apparently, to turn on the lights they needs a loud noise. It was at this point that I knew they spoiled the teachers and I was moving into a pretty ritzy place. I mean, I can totally remember the clapper. Nothing says "high class" like "clap on, clap off (or am I thinking The Karate Kid?)." (OK... let's see. Question mark, parenthesis, period, quote and another parenthesis. Yeah. I don't know if I should be an English teacher after all. And what is a single parenthesy?)
