6 Things you may or may not know about China/me

1. Dryers and China don't usually appear in the same sentence.
You can buy a dryer, but they are not commonly found, and most people don't use them. Instead, clothes are hung from clothes lines like this:
2. I read this story this week.

It's about Mid-Autumn Festival, when the family gets together, eats moon cakes and watch the moon together, according to the story. If you look closely, apparently, you can see a woman, as well as a little white hare (but no man on the moon)!

3. I very rarely eat jerky, but for some reason when he asked what I wanted him to bring, I was in the mood for jerky. And I was again this afternoon. I'm snacking on beef jerky right now, imported by my brother himself when he came to visit. Thanks Ray!
4. My new apartment is on the 23rd floor. If it's a clear day, I can see mountains. But if it's not, this is what I can see. This view is more common, it seems.

5. It took a month and 4 days for internet to be installed in my current apartment. After calling and promising that somebody would come four times in a row, the internet company told me that there was construction in my building, and they couldn't install it during construction. After the construction finished, I repeatedly called them until they finally came and set it up, a 5 minute process. I'm thankful for internet!

6. Chinese food in China is completely different than Chinese food in America, and authentic Chinese food, at least in my experience, is way better. Not even a comparison.
