Water

Water. Sometimes in China you have it, sometimes you don't. Last time our water went out for 24 hours, we had advance notice so we were able to fill the bathtub to use to flush the toilet (you take a bucket of water from the tub and pour it into the toilet tank). This morning the water is out again, but with no notice. Luckily I'm showered already! And I have 4 clean toilets to use until it comes back on. And I have bottled water to drink.

Kevin left for school this morning hoping that they would cancel school because of the water outage. But the school seems to have things under control:

"Meanwhile, the housekeeping team will try to set up one set of bathrooms on each floor with a bucket of water, using the remaining water we have in our basement water tank. Hopefully you will be able to direct to student to the restrooms that is nearest to the library stairway soon."

Last time we flew out of the domestic terminal at the Dalian Airport, at first I couldn't figure out why the staff was hauling buckets of water down the hall. Then I used the restroom and realized that the airport didn't have water.

Life goes on.
