Our lovely apartment

The four of us spent over ten hours cleaning the apartment that our school gave us.

I'm still completely livid about the situation. All I'll say is that Chinese people have very, very different clenliness standards than we do.




Yeah, we were left with a gazzilion dirty dishes. But these dishes weren't in the sink when we moved in. They were in the cupboards - totally filthy and covered with grease and dead bugs.



The floors were shockingly bad. I swear, this photo doesn't capture how bad it reall was





The top of our microwave



I know what you're thinking, why didn't you pay a chinese cleaning lady two-dollars an hour to clean this? WE TRIED!! The bitch did a completely pathetic job - she literally was doing nothing (NOTHING) and refused to use the cleaning supplies that be bought. We showed her how to scrub the floors with a scrub-brush and SHE REFUSED. We had her leave.
