Day 68: It’s an electric situation

I got a message from my apartment broker this evening. She was quite concerned over something. You see, unlike in the USA most of your utilities seem to be prepaid (something I didn’t know about) and apparently there is 1-2 days left of money in my electricity account. Oops! Well, it’s not all my fault as I assumed an invoice would be sent and I’d post-pay for what I used, nor was I told otherwise. Things are definitely different here in China!

This also means I need to figure out how to transfer money again! Tomorrow will be another adventure and one hopefully done not in the dark…

    1. And THAT, Marjorie, just so you will know and your children will one day know, was NOT the night the lights went out in Suzhou!
