In the middle of cooking dinner last night the gas ran out. What time, you say? Yes, after the bank closes of course. So no refill of gas. Guess what else our gas powers? Yep, our hot water. Joy of all joys I fired up the ‘ol “boiler” on our water dispenser. It makes about 3 cups of hot water, but mixed with enough cold from the shower and you have a fairly respectable little cup-and-bowl bath situation. As respectable as a cup-and-bowl bath can be.
Thank you China…for having a system that dis-allows you to just use gas and pay a bill at the end of the month. Thank you for making me rearrange my day so I have to leave work early in order to make it to the bank on time to sit there and wait for a teller who will reluctantly fill up gas card so I can, once again, take a hot shower. 谢谢.
Ok I’m done.
