Long Noodles
I’m getting used to chopsticks but this was hardly eatable. The noodles were too long and slippery.
Preserve the Noodle Man
Small shops and cookshops in front of Rainbow City 2. The urban planners want to see more modern compounds here. When will they start building? And what will happen to our beloved noodle man?

Chinese Ibuprofen. Makes an interesting noise on swallowing.

Poor Little Laundry
We’re also having a top loading washing machine here, but the basket is mounted horizontally, not vertically as in the one I had used before. My landlady explained me how to operate it last week. It only works with cold water and, to make things even worse, she only used the shortest program. Bottom line: The laundry felt as if it had just been wetted and didn’t smell fresh at all.
Today I wanted to use the thing by myself. And then she came. No idea what she said exactly but again I wasn’t allowed use one of the longer programs. :-( I’m going crazy. I want clean things.
I could wash them again when she isn’t looking…
