We have been living in the city of Huai'an for about 2 weeks.  The first week was in a hotel, but we are now comfortable in our apartment.

Cooking our first meal

Bedroom - we now have some foam for a mattress.

Western toilet and shower.

 When we first saw the apartment is was filthy, so after a lot of cleaning I am  happier.

Big ball is the centre piece for a big roundabout, the motor scooter or e scooters (electric) use the
round about below the road, as do the pedestrians.


More eating and drinking - with Bruce and some other teachers.

School, and the style of taxi we use here a lot.

It is amazing what can be transported on a 3 wheeled bike.
