...in our basement.
The night before we were supposed to leave for our vacation, there was a HUGE downpour. And thanks to the superior quality of Chinese construction, our basement was flooded. Fortunately, my kids' musical instruments & equipment were saved in the nick of time, but our handwoven wool carpet...well, we'll just have to wait & see...
After an hour and a half of scooping water into buckets using cups, a dustpan & floor towels, we finally managed to clean up the mess.
There are now sandbags sitting outside our garage door, & at the door that leads from the garage to the basement. Hopefully, the next deluge that hits us (summer is usually the wettest time of the year in Beijing) will not result in another wading pool in our basement.
We are in San Francisco now....will try to post from time to time, as long as we can get free wi-fi. :)
