Sleeper trains generally are not bad.

I prefer the soft sleeper as there are only 4 to a berth and the berth door locks. And the bed is softer. Toilets are cleaner, more to do with the class of passenger.

The hard sleeper is 6 to a berth but not much head room, and the end of the berth is open to the corridor. People may also play cards till late and drink.

I am not sure if there is a bullet train to Wuhan, CRH train.

The only other things I can say about the sleepers is.
Soft sleeper get the top bunk as the bottom bunk is also seating, and you have to wait for others to go to bed.
Hard sleeper, middle bunk as the top bunk has the least headroom.
Keep valuables inside your outer layer of clothing, including phones etc.
I never get much sleep on the sleeper and have a stiff neck and feel like crap for several days after a trip.

Real estate is a very localised market here. Almost by the neighbourhood.

Go to the neighbourhood you like and look in all the realtors' windows. You will soon see that 80% of the property is common to all of them.

There are some bigger chains here, like 21st Century, but they will be less likely to negotiate over the finders fees and deposits.

Some however will work harder than others.

Don't just say I am looking for something how much, you will get stung. Ask to see specific properties from the window cards, as the rent is already marked on them.

The market here is not regulated. Don't expect high levels of professionalism. Some agents are helpful, others are just pap.

Ref gas/elec bills differential

They are probably only using gas to cook for about 15 minutes per day. And a shower twice a week. Washing up in cold water is common here. Mop floor with cold water.
We may be using it to heat water for washing up and showers twice a day. Hot water to mop floors.

Elec will also be higher for us. We leave lights on, use more than a single bulb on dim lighting, watch more TV and have computers running longer. Thier kids will have no TV and will be ruining their eyes studying to a 5w bulb.

Sounds odd Chingis.

Gas blockage would not stop water flow that I can see. Unless someone can enlighten me.

The nozzles on the taps has a filter that clogs. This reduces water flow. If flow is too low the heater will not come on due to a safety mechanism.

We cleaned our nozzles with vinegar (2 day soak), although a propriety drain cleaner may work better. Having said that, I have now taken our nozzle filter off. The only differences are that water comes out faster, but not in a nice jet as before.

I heard a story about Dinosaur valley, which may or may not be true. The fancy building you see from the highway is not the actual site, but the efforts of a bunch of entrepreneurial locals who wanted to cash in on the nearby site. It is not connected in any way with the archaeological site.

This has moved.
The cut flowers are about 700m east on Duonan Jie. The plants and trees are about 700 m west and follow Duocai Section.

A reasonable choice of lumber that has improved over time. Fancy hardwoods like walnut, and mahogany are in abundance. There are some plywood and rubber-wood boards available. There are also some kiln dried imported softwoods and merbao available. Some of the lumber is very green, so look for the kiln dried if you need stable timbers.

Echo everything said by others.
Breakfast great and the serve from 8am. Most other places say 9am and they still are not ready.
Sandwiches are cheap 22-32, and really packed full of filling. We got some sandwiches for a day out, the only mistake I made was ordering two, as this was too much. These are seriously good sangars, and they are wrapped in alu foil.

In fairness to Metro, they are a wholesalers, and not really a supermarket. Hence the need for a card, which can be got around.

They have improved in the year I have been away. They now carry a more consistent range of imported foodstuffs and they also seem to have sorted out the mported milk supply.

They have a wider range of electrical appliances now, there is a coice of more than one toast. There is also a better range of seasonal non foods, like clothes, shoes, garden furniture and camping gear.
