amberjack1234 Posted April 16, 2017 Report Share Posted April 16, 2017 The Russians are here! Practicing a routine for their KTV gig in front of our home. Apparently the company that brings them here has an apt. in our complex that they have them stay in. We've seen others, mostly Eastern Europeans from their accents. She hasn't gotten rid of her baby fat yet has she. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amberjack1234 Posted April 16, 2017 Report Share Posted April 16, 2017 When the wife gets up I am going to show her this picture and ask her why she can't replicate something like that. You think I really should do that? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg.D. Posted May 10, 2017 Report Share Posted May 10, 2017 Looks very light on stock, but catering to obsessive baby-related accessories should be huge there. I know our child-bearing acquaintances there go full throttle when collecting the must-have trendy items. And, no, I don't make the connection between the name and the "a simple hello ..." tagline Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, no, I don't make the connection between the name and the "a simple hello ..." tagline Yeah - there's nowhere NEAR "a million things" in that store. I'd give about six months to a year before they hang it up - if it's a good idea, someone will come along with a BETTER one. My wife is pretty accurate when she points at a new restaurant and says they won't last - not that she has any prescience, it's just that they usually don't. Yulin is a VERY immature market - it seems like NEW businesses serve mainly to put OLD ones out of business - before they themselves follow suit.

Randy W Posted May 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 They've located the (7 year old) leak, and will fix it in time for the pool to open a little late this year (May 15 seems to be the usual target date) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy W Posted May 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 The wife was hit from behind the other day - that's a little pebble embedded in our bumper cover next to the circle there. She wanted ¥500, but they said they had insurance, so we have to take it to get it fixed - their insurance will pay for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy W Posted May 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 Our perimeter fence washed into the next door construction site during a thunderstorm a few days ago, taking the water main with it. We were without water for the better part of one day, so they opened up a single fire hydrant for anyone who needed water by the bucket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeandRong Posted May 27, 2017 Report Share Posted May 27, 2017 You know back here at home you would have been on TV and at least the 2nd page of the newspaper. But there, simply open up the hydrant, no big deal, no crowds, no protests, no news copters hovering overhead, no yellow tape and sawhorses blocking for hundreds of feet in all directions, etc... Night and day difference in how we deal and are dealt with stress/problems here, and make mountains out of mole hills almost daily. Wouldn't take much more here for us to just pack up and move back for awhile. Hey by the way, the sidewalk looks quite colorful today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
