New Apartment

So I finally have some time to relax after I am fully moved into my new place. My new apartment has three bedrooms, huge living room, kitchen, two bathrooms, and great roommates. So I am living with a german and another American. The first time I met the German was when I came to look at the place, but I have known the American since last December. So my room has a private bathroom, king size bed, wardrobe, futon, and a couple bed side tables (See pics below). So I took over the bedroom from a girl who took a job 2 hours outside of Kunming and she didn’t want to make the trip everyday….Understandable. So my bathroom needed a new shower head and a toilet seat. The shower head was easy to find, but the toilet seat has been harder as most people have squat potties. So today I head over to the east side of town to try to find a toilet seat. The character class had another person sign up last week….So it is getting a little momentum. We just finished responsibility and are moving on to self-control next week. 

So we have had some trouble with internet access at the new place. Apparently, we are on a pay as you use system....I think. and if that is in fact the case, then we are definitely changing it to a monthly system. So the day after we moved in...we couldnt access the internet because we didnt know why...so we let it go for a day...then figured it out...Well, that only lasted a day before the internet just stopped. But this is a different problem because we have no internet coming into the house. My theory is that China Telecom is making some changes because i have heard from different people that the internet goes down for a couple of days and then just comes back on...We are going to let it go for another day...and then we will make a fuss about it. So i have to lug my laptop with me to a cafe to check emails....Also, Oreillys is the only place my VPN works so i havent been able to post anything or send out a newsletter.
