First night in our apartment!
We are signing an expat contract to stay in China for at least a year. We picked out an apartment and this week they finalized all of our requests so tonight we moved in. On one hand I am super excited to have my own space, my own kitchen, my own bed, and the ability to settle into a "normal" life (not to mention the added bonus of spending my week shopping for the apartment 
). On the other hand I am a bit nervous because we had a huge support system at the hotel we were at. Everyone knew us by name and most of them spoke English really well, so if I ever needed help it was easy. I think it's time for me to kick my Chinese lessons up a notch!
Just wanted to share. Thanks for reading.

Re: First night in our apartment!
OMG I want to live in Chiina. Requests! Complying with requests! Sounds like a dream!
I think it probably has something to do with the never ending building that goes on here. High-rise apartments as far as the eye can see - with 50% or less occupancy in each building. Not sure how long the landlord was looking for renters, but judging by their willingness to comply, I'd say a while.
Are you getting an ayi! I want an ayi. XH never let me have an ayi.
Congratulations, sounds really exotic!
BTW, love your kitty >_<
Is this a housecleaner or something???
Congrats! I am so, so impressed with all the much-more-adventurous-than-we-are nesties on here... I would love to live somewhere so interesting sometime, it must be fascinating. Good luck getting settled in!!

It's more like a housekeeper. They clean, cook, shop, do laundry, watch the kids... Whatever you want!
