A road to Ningbo, part 4: Finita la comedia!

I don't know how it is elsewhere on this planet, but in China the first thing you do after moving in is go to the supermarket and buy as much disinfectant as you can carry. And then some more. And after that you spend two or three days applying said disinfectant on every surface imaginable and quite a few you didn't even know about. This time it was my poor wife who had to do it as I was running around Ningbo visiting factories and trying to get some sensible picture of what is going on with our orders. Two days of digging and one burned set of lungs later (my lungs, of course - I wouldn't let my wife use that acidic stuff you clean showers with!) - it finally happened! A place where you can live and walk barefoot without fear of stepping onto some long-forgotten bottle cap or used condom from last year!
