Smooth sailing

No delays.

Unlike previous experiences in China, my departure from Fuzhou proceeded without any hiccups and a little good fortune. Internet access and a land line were already live, so none of this nonsense about China Telecom using a debt of ¥3 to cut off the phone and demand a bunch of money to get a new line installed.

The flat's all right, but there are downsides. The view is awful; the shower would be better if the bracket for the nozzle wasn't broken; there's nowhere to put books or DVDs; and not really enough room for clothes. There's a large cupboard at the end of the sitting room, but it's only really good for hanging things in or for items such as towels. I need a chest-of-drawers.

Chengdu feels more lively than Fuzhou ever did, although I note that there are lots of foreign tourists around. All the pretty girls? Well, there are some, but no more than anywhere else, it seems. Short shorts are on display, but that's no different from Fuzhou or Beijing.
